Last weekend was the Chinese New Year, my family went to a celebration gathering with many families and we had a great time. According to Chinese zodiac tradition, this is a year of “horse” and therefore, the phrase “to win an instant success 馬到成功” was mentioned frequently among the Chinese community. This is a common phrase that is used for congratulating or wishing luck to others. Apart from good luck, it has a connotation of invincibleness too – it implies that when he or she comes, it will be an instant success.

Isn’t that great to be invincible? I am not sure about you, this was my attitude in my younger days. I thought I was invincible and I can do everything. I felt that there is always opportunity waiting for me. As I grew older, the reality kicks in – I find that there are a lot of things I couldn’t do. May be this is so-called “maturing” 🙂

How about those who are rich and famous? Are they invincible? It may appear to be so from surface but in reality, they are not. In fact, we saw numerous examples of the rich and famous become penniless and infamous in a brink of eyes. All in all, it is like the author of the book of Ecclesiastes said, “vanity of vanities; all is vanity! 虛空的虛空，凡事都是虛空 (Ecclesiastes 1:2)”

If we realize that all is vanity and we are NOT invincible, then we can learn to be humble before the one who is invincible – our God, as He is the God Almighty and He is our Creator. But, is there any possibility that we can be invincible, in any shape or form? Yes, only through His son, Jesus Christ because Apostle Paul told us that “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 血肉之體，不能承受神的國‧必朽壞的，不能承受不朽壞的 (1 Corinthians 15:50)”. Only when we receive Jesus as our personal savior, then our corruptible flesh can be transformed into incorruptible and in Jesus Christ, as apostle Paul declared, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). That is what I called the true “invincibleness”.

My dear friends, do you want to be invincible? There is no other way but through Jesus Christ because He is “the Way, the Truth and the Life”!
