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!

每週每週，安排檔期是 #美食加選物 的重要工作。

在團購先行的模式下，我們的私密社團 #美食加的口袋名單，一週會推出三至四檔團購。按表操課，把所有的空格填滿，有時候壓力滿大的。

商品開發走在前端，如何發掘新品，或與合作廠商討論特殊規格，便是這份工作的核心。

該怎麼知道哪裡有好東西呢？

對我來說，這就像「哪裡有好餐廳」一樣，講求搜集資訊的工夫；資訊也不是越多越好，篩選過濾、去蕪存菁，也很重要。

在資訊爆炸的當代，我愈加相信「口耳相傳」的力量。Word of mouth 從古至今都很有效，一個品味和你相近的朋友所做的推薦，比較值得信賴。怎麼能確認對方的品味和你相不相近？社群媒體就是最便利的地方，日日月月鋪展的軌跡，就是資料的寶庫。

講直白點，如果這位朋友推薦的餐廳你都喜歡，那他說好吃的蛋黃酥也不會太差。

也可以說，我們的選品邏輯就是上述的延伸。

最後怎麼拍板定案？各位，還是我本人要嚐百草啊。我的工作比起神農氏，雖不至於有中毒的危機（應該吧？），卻有發胖的風險......

*今日經文；daily Chapter:
「我們並有先知更確的預言，如同燈照在暗處。你們在這預言上留意，直等到天發亮，晨星在你們心裏出現的時候，才是好的。 第一要緊的，該知道經上所有的預言沒有可隨私意解說的； 因為預言從來沒有出於人意的，乃是人被聖靈感動，說出神的話來。」
‭‭彼得後書‬ ‭1:19-21‬ ‭CUNP-神‬‬
「And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.」
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1:19-21‬ ‭ASV‬‬
