Celebration of the Father

“Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem. They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened. While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?” One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?” He said to them, “Foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?” Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us, while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?” They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them, saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”” (Luke‬ ‭24:13-18, 25-27, 32-34‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Did you ever wonder why out of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, only one of them was named while the other remained anonymous?

Therefore, I believe that the name “Cleopas” is crucial to understanding the significance of this passage.

Cleopas is an abbreviated form of the name Cleopatros, made of the two Greek words “kleos” (to celebrate) and pater (father). Cleopas means “celebration of the father”.

Let us see what Jesus did in the passage. He told the two discouraged disciples all about the things concerning Himself in the Old Testament Scriptures, and how He fulfilled them all at the cross.

It was a celebration of the Father, praising Him for His glorious plan of salvation that was once hidden and is now revealed through the prophets, apostles, and the other writers of the Scriptures.

When Jesus celebrated the Father with the two disciples, their hearts “burned”, likely with faith, hope, and love in response to the love and grace of God. They experienced an “Emmaus” (meaning: hot springs) in their hearts, washing away the unbelief and refreshing their spirits.

They were no longer depressed and despondent. Instead, they were filled with hope, and energized in their bodies and souls. Having just walked a long way from Jerusalem to Emmaus, they immediately set off on a journey back to announce the good news they had seen and heard.

This world needs “Cleopas”—a celebration of the Father. They need to hear about a Father God who is gracious and full of love, who freely offers salvation through Jesus Christ His Son. They need to hear that He wants to be a Father near to them and not a Judge far off; that He is reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus, welcoming them home.

“But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:18-21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Anytime you are feeling down, you can initiate a celebration of the Father. It will cleanse you from unbelief, refresh your spirit, fill your heart with hope, and energize your body and soul!

Hello các bạn! Hôm nay, các bạn hãy cùng mình học từ vựng tiếng anh khó thông qua những điều thú vị về cung Song Tử nhé!

Xem lời thoại dưới đây để học từ vựng tiếng Anh khó của ngày hôm nay nha.

Nói về cung Song Tử thì cung Song Tử là cung hoàng đạo thứ 3 trong năm, bắt đầu từ ngày 21 tháng 5 đến ngày 21 tháng 6, và là đại diện cho chòm sao Song Tử. Biểu tượng của cung Song Tử là cặp song sinh cùng mẹ khác cha Castor và Pollux trong thần thoại Hy Lạp. Trong 1 trận chiến, thì Castor đã hy sinh. Pollux đã **inconsolable** (rất đau khổ) sau cái chết của người anh em song sinh. Anh quyết định đến gặp cha mình là thần Zeus và **plead** (cầu xin) Zeus chia sẻ sự bất tử của mình với Castor. Zeus đã đồng ý, và hóa họ thành 2 ngôi sao trong chòm sao Song Tử. Truyền thuyết kể răng khi đi biển, nếu thủy thủ nhìn thấy 2 ngôi sao này thì chuyến đi của họ sẽ gặp nhiều thuận lợi, và họ sẽ trở nên **prosperous** (giàu có, thịnh vượng). Tuy nhiên, nếu chỉ nhìn thấy 1 trong 2 ngôi sao, thì đó là điềm báo xui xẻo.

Bình thường thì mỗi cung sẽ có một tính cách **prominent** (nổi bật). Ví dụ như Ma Kết sẽ rất tham vọng. Tuy nhiên thì do là cung Song Tử được đại diện bởi 1 cặp song sinh nên tính cách của những người cung Song Tử sẽ **multifaceted** (có nhiều mặt), và không có **trait** (đặc điểm) nào quá nổi trội. Nói về mặt tốt thì Song Tử là người **articulate** (giỏi ăn nói), có thể dễ dàng truyền đạt suy nghĩ của mình nên có nhiều bạn bè, và quan hệ rộng. Người thuộc cung Song Tử cũng rất thông minh, và **inquisitve** (tò mò, ham học hỏi). Họ thích tìm hiểu về những kiến thức mới, hay là đi khám phá những vùng đất mới. Nói về mặt xấu thì họ thường **impulsive**(hấp tấp). Họ thường thay đổi quyết định nhanh chóng, và dễ trở nên **despondent** (nản lòng) trong quá trình theo đuổi ước mơ.

JJ Lin 林俊傑 《倖存者· 如你》維度二 首張全英文EP《Like You Do》
OUT NOW 全面數位發行 https://jjlin.lnk.to/LYDAY

Have you imagined a world where
You’re more than just You?
What would that be like?

Drifter • Like You do - a Double-dimensional, deluxe EP creatively led by JJ Lin, from music productions to visual concepts. The music narrative of DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO is inspired by a concept JJ has been ruminating on - the possibility of a parallel universe.

In this latest release which marks JJ’s 14th album, as well as his first english EP throughout his illustrious career of 18 years, JJ delves into his innermost thoughts and feelings, redefining his music perspectives to put forward a stripped down and introspective representation of his music and self.

In Quantum Theory
Space and time are not continuous
A parallel universe is a possibility
Could it be possible that somewhere, somehow
In an obscure corner of the universe
An infinite number of us exist?
Where perhaps, I could be you, and you could be me?

I seem to be a Drifter in this vast expanse... Like You Do.

-

[DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO ]

Part One: The 1st Dimension - DRIFTER

Music has always been an expression of self for JJ. His journey of self-discovery could be traced back to his From M.E. To Myself (2015) album, with him eventually finding the connection between himself and the world, and shared through his Message in a Bottle (2017) album.

In the recent years, JJ embarked on a different route to self-discovery as he shifts the focus of his music from self to “you”. Conveyed through his double EP DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO, JJ propounds a new direction for self-reflection.

DRIFTER EP features six brand new Mandarin songs that weaved together a complete concept of: What would you do, if you, were not just you? The songs inspire us to contemplate the possibility that our consciousness could determine who we are - there could be multiple endings to every story, and when we believe so, the future will be limitless.

Part Two: The 2nd Dimension - LIKE YOU DO

An extension of Drifter, LIKE YOU DO explores a self-examining concept: What is left after you rid yourself of expectations?

When darkness descends, have you, in pursuit of survival, stumbled upon another version of yourself that is so foreign yet familiar? You could be that drifter, that is the only glimpse of hope left in a despondent world. Which version of you would emerge in face of adversity? If a parallel universe does exist, JJ is breaking out of his shell and introducing the hidden version of himself that we have yet to meet via LIKE YOU DO.

Partnered with new music collaborators Fernando Garibay, Nasri Atweh, Joshua Kissiah Cumbee, Ramiro Padilla and Daniel Padilla, JJ endeavours to offer fresh perspectives and sounds for this EP.

The journey and story of this alternate JJ Lin has just begun.

—

“All these years, one thing I’ve learnt is that it’s one of the hardest things in life to accept the flawed version of ourselves. We work so hard to be the best and to be perfect; many times we want to believe that we are unstoppable, and that only by being strong, we can be successful.

“Like You Do” to me is the opposite of that.

Every song is a reflection of the darker version of myself. And I’ve found a sense of healing, by reaching in and realising that true strength is found in embracing every version of the self. It’s only when you strip yourself of all expectations, that your every next step will be a form of gain and reward.

There is beauty in that.”

— JJ Lin

＿＿＿

近年來我深深體悟到一件事：接受有缺憾的自我，是一生中最難的事情之一。
對於任何事務，我們努力做到最好、盡可能達到完美；很多時候，我們試著去相信自己是無懈可擊的，因為唯有堅強，才能成功。

然而，【Like You Do】對我而言正是相反的。
每首歌，都反映出自己的內心深處某個曾不可觸及的一面。過程中，通過自我剖白來學習擁抱自己的不完美，並找到真正的力量。而從中，我被療癒了。
當你擺脫所有期望時，每一步都將轉化為獲得和回報。
那正是最美的。

- JJ 林俊傑

【Like You Do】中的JJ Lin是一鍵歸零，
也是一步躍進。 跳脫既定模板，拋開過往的該與不該。

在【Like You Do】EP中，JJ Lin回到做音樂的本質面貌說故事，當這個語言更加直覺，遇見的自己就越加真實。捧著初衷的純粹，JJ成為昏暗夜晚中的一雙堅定眼神，穿透情感與歲月的虛與實。一刻明亮的獲得，是歷經所有的願與不願，坦然面對這些擁有與失去，於是回歸誠實後的純粹，如這世界上的每一個你，重新擁抱世界附加在自己身上的能量。

為帶給這張全英文EP更完整的體驗，JJ遠赴異地，尋找更多不同的聲音，當沒有任何模板框架，跳脫以往的創作模式，他的音樂更加自我也更加自由。JJ邀請多次獲得葛萊美獎項提名之專輯製作人- Fernando Garibay、Joshua Kissiah Cumbee、Ramiro Padilla、Daniel Padilla等多位專業音樂人攜手創作。與全新的音樂夥伴合作，無論曲、詞，JJ自在地享受，完全地吸收來自不同的音樂人所給予的能量，共同激盪出不同以往的音樂風格。一切不經設定、沒有設限也沒有包袱，放下習慣的唱腔，衝撞出全新的聲音。所有面貌都是最原始最嶄新，也是翻面後的第一頁。

歸零的同時，就會遇見真實的自己。

這個挑戰，是JJ 17年來從未有過的經驗，在華語市場中多年的累積，逐漸締造屬於最JJ的音樂版圖。但這一次，林俊傑顛覆一切的認知、放下一切的理所當然與成長脈絡，為了自我實現的這一刻，成為了歸零的JJ Lin，勇敢擁抱陌生的環境與不同的音樂文化，JJ已經不是JJ，但也不再只是原本的JJ。

歌詞
Shoals of fish suffer from plague, 魚群染上瘟疫
Corpses float up towards the surface of the ocean, 死屍浮於海面
The stench of decay permeates the surrounding shores. 惡臭瀰漫海岸
Misery seen through the eyes of stranded dead, 死屍眼中盡見苦難
Skin putrefies and fever spreads, 皮膚腐爛且熱病散播
Mortals deathly pale and despondent, 人們慘白且無神
Children cry out as they fret efflorescent skin. 孩子們哭嚎且抓撓皮膚
The curse of Mother Nature ravages the human world. 大地的詛咒在人間肆虐
I see the black-winged god, 我見到黑翼之神
Enfold its giant wings. 放下祂巨大的翅膀
Speaking using human words, 說著人語
It is nature’s masterpiece. 他們是大自然的傑作
This is the black-winged god, 這是黑翼之神
We worship with stems of reeds. 我們用蘆葦草桿祭拜
Flying from the Southern Sea, 祂從南方飛來
All our kindred will be fed. 餵養了族人
