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!

If you are new to reading the four gospels for yourself, or you have some questions about difficult passages in there, I would like to recommend you read my four-ebook bundle called “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”.

As you read it, many confusing pieces of Scripture will be unlocked to you, and things that used to scare you will be read in the right light. Order the bundle and you can download and read it right away:

🚂耶路撒冷的百年舊火車站文創藝術園區

暫時離開保守的耶路撒冷老城區，我們來到德國殖民區German Colony附近感受年輕的活力😆

1892年9月26日，從雅法出發的首列火車駛入耶路撒冷車站。鐵路科技的發展，大大縮減了當時朝聖者到耶路撒冷的通勤時間。以前他們得騎著駱駝和驢子拉車，花十個小時才能抵達聖城。

沿著鐵軌遺跡，來到火車站舊址。如今這座百年車站前廣場已經是當地著名的文創藝術園區，集結了藝術市集、美食攤車、娛樂表演和兒童遊樂場等元素。

התחנה הראשונה ירושלים - The First Station Jerusalem
未來有機會到耶路撒冷多待幾天的朋友，很推薦來這裡輕鬆一下！

我還在這裡吃到甜而不膩的好吃冰淇淋🍦愛上Vaniglia וניליה的比利時黑巧克力口味，開心果口味也不錯吃。還好Vaniglia在以色列有多家分店，之後想吃不用跑去耶路撒冷😁

【H&M History + Movies】用電影回顧那些歷史課不會教的事 09/28 ~ 10/04

每週一次的【影史７日談】單元來囉！我會用七部電影或影集，告訴你這禮拜在歷史上發生過哪些重要的歷史事件，讓你在看這些電影或歷史事件時，有更多不一樣的思考空間唷！
.

▶ 551BC-SEP. 28 #孔子 Confucius
《#孔子決戰春秋》Confucius, 2010

後代敬稱「至聖先師」的孔子，是春秋末期的魯國教育家與哲學家，也是儒家的創始人物；19歲時擔任魯國官吏，23歲時開始辦學收徒，55歲為了宣揚自己的政治理念，開始率領眾弟子周遊列國。成效未果，甚至一度受困於楚國；回到魯國後專注教育和古籍整理，直到71歲時逝世。孔子及儒家思想對中國與亞洲地區影響深遠，在台灣則是將孔子的生日定為教師節。
.

▶ 1954-SEP. 29 #歐洲核子研究組織 CERN
《#天使與魔鬼》Angels & Demons, 2009

總部設於瑞士日內瓦，創立於1954年9月29日的歐洲核子研究組織，前身為歐洲核子研究理事會，是世界上最大的粒子物理學實驗室，也是現代網路的發源地。組織內有23個會員國，其中以色列是第一個也是目前唯一一個非歐洲的成員國。該組織主要提供粒子加速器為研究基礎，進行多項物理學研究計畫，並設有協助數據分析的強大電腦運算中心。
.

▶ 1946-SEP. 30 #紐倫堡大審 Nuremberg Trials
《#紐倫堡大審》Judgment at Nuremberg, 1961

紐倫堡大審全名為歐洲國際軍事法庭，主要在德國紐倫堡進行，主要為針對納粹德國的領導人物進行起訴，並針對其各自犯下的戰爭罪刑進行檢討。自1945年11月20日開始，法庭中審理了包括空軍元帥 赫爾曼戈林在內等納粹德國24名重要人物，並於1946年9月30日宣布審判結果。紐倫堡大審是古典國際法和現代國際法的重要轉折，也為往後聯合國提供重要的法理基礎。
.

▶ 1936-OCT. 01 #佛朗哥的崛起 Francisco Franco
《#羊男的迷宮》Pan's Labyrinth, 2006

法蘭西斯科佛朗哥，是出生於軍人世家的西班牙獨裁者；他在1936年7月17日爆發的西班牙內戰不久成為國民軍大元帥，並於1936年10月1日成為新民族主義政權的國家元首。1939年西班牙內戰結束後，他在國內右派人士的支持下實行專制統治長達39年；雖然他在二戰期間主張法西斯主義，但因為二戰後主張反共，與西方陣營友好。
.

▶ 1187-OCT. 02 #薩拉丁 收復耶路撒冷 Saladin – Capture of Jerusalem
《#王者天下》Kingdom of Heaven, 2005

薩拉丁是埃及埃宥比王朝的第一個蘇丹，以及敘利亞的第一位蘇丹，於1174至1193年在位期間帶領阿拉伯人對抗西方來犯的十字軍。由於他為人慷慨、不吝惜錢財，卓越的領袖風範和軍事才能，不論是基督還是穆斯林世界，都對他有極高的評價。他在1187年的哈丁戰役中，領導阿拉伯軍隊收復了被十字軍佔領長達88之久的巴勒斯坦，以及耶路撒冷。
.

▶ 1993-OCT. 03 #摩加迪休之戰 Battle of Mogadishu
《#黑鷹計畫》Black Hawk Down, 2001

摩加迪休之戰的歷史可回朔至1969年索馬利亞政變，隨後長達20餘年的獨裁政治與內亂；90年代爆發的嚴重飢荒，讓美國為首的聯合國勢力介入。1993年10月3日，美軍在準備不周和情報錯誤的情況下，派出特種部隊180人逮捕獨裁者艾迪德的部屬，卻遭到上千名當地民兵圍攻，受困於市區內。美軍18人陣亡，1人被俘，是美軍自波斯灣戰爭以來損失最慘重的戰鬥。
.

▶ 1884-OCT. 04 #東方快車 Orient Express
《#東方快車謀殺案》Murder on the Orient Express, 2017

自1883年開始營運的東方快車，是由比利時人佐治納吉麥克所創立的國際臥鋪車公司設置，於1884年10月1日首發從巴黎至伊斯坦堡，沿途停靠歐洲各大重要城市。東方快車在1930年代達到全盛時期，其提供奢華的服務享受吸引不少王室貴族、企業家等上流人士前來體驗。目前東方快車於1977年暫停服務，但旅客還是能夠從巴黎以分段的方式乘坐火車抵達伊斯坦堡。

*今日章節；Daily Chapter:
「那時，耶和華必出去與那些國爭戰，好像從前爭戰一樣。 那日，他的腳必站在耶路撒冷前面朝東的橄欖山上。這山必從中間分裂，自東至西成為極大的谷。山的一半向北挪移，一半向南挪移。 你們要從我山的谷中逃跑，因為山谷必延到亞薩。你們逃跑，必如猶大王烏西雅年間的人逃避大地震一樣。耶和華－我的神必降臨，有一切聖者同來。 那日，必沒有光，三光必退縮。 那日，必是耶和華所知道的，不是白晝，也不是黑夜，到了晚上才有光明。 那日，必有活水從耶路撒冷出來，一半往東海流，一半往西海流；冬夏都是如此。 耶和華必作全地的王。那日耶和華必為獨一無二的，他的名也是獨一無二的。 人必住在其中，不再有咒詛。耶路撒冷人必安然居住。」
‭‭撒迦利亞書‬ ‭14:3-9, 11‬ ‭CUNP-神
「Behold, a day of Jehovah cometh, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. Then shall Jehovah go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall be cleft in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azel; yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and Jehovah my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the bright ones shall withdraw themselves: but it shall be one day which is known unto Jehovah; not day, and not night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light. And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one. And men shall dwell therein, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall dwell safely.」
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭14:1, 3-9, 11‬ ‭ASV‬‬

以巴停火協議未滿一個月，以色列與哈瑪斯又發生衝突了。昨天 6/15，哈瑪斯往以色列發射數個氣球炸彈，造成 20 多起火災。當晚，以色列反擊發動空襲，造成的傷亡目前未知。上個月維持了 11  天的以巴衝突造成超過 250 人喪命，停火協議是否已瓦解，接下來局勢會怎麼進展呢？
