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:

◤How ESG investors jolted Foxconn into taking climate action?◢
In recent years, foreign institutional investors have been focusing on the performance of companies in their portfolios in terms of environmental impact, social responsibility, and corporate governance, abbreviated as ESG. These funds do not want to be dragged down by corporate climate sinners. As a result, Taiwanese electronics giant Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. (Foxconn), which used to have poor climate action credentials, recently committed to clear carbon reduction targets. Listed companies and stock investors can no longer ignore the ESG approach.

本週三，AIT副處長柯傑民（Jeremy Cornforth）於全球合作暨訓練架構 (#GCTF)「以科技力建構韌性及加速落實永續發展目標」線上國際研討會開幕致詞中強調：「儘管台灣被拒於門外，無法有意義地參與世衛大會及許多其他國際組織，今天的活動將能凸顯台灣仍以許許多多方式分享專長、並運用其科技長才，幫助國際社會解決你我共同面對的種種挑戰。美國會持續致力協助擴大台灣的國際參與空間。」

AIT副處長柯傑民、外交部長吳釗燮、日本台灣交流協會台北事務所代表泉裕泰、美國駐聯合國副大使蒲杰夫（Jeffrey Prescott）及駐紐約台北經濟文化辦事處處長李光章於週三一同參加了全球合作暨訓練架構 (GCTF)「以科技力建構韌性及加速落實永續發展目標」線上國際研討會。自2015年全球合作暨訓練架構啟動以來，這是第一次聚焦探討科技如何能增強韌性並加快實現可持續發展目標的進程。

On Wednesday, AIT Deputy Director Jeremy Cornforth, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association Chief Representative Hiroyasu Izumi, Deputy to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Jeff Prescot and Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York Director-General James Lee participated in a virtual Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) workshop titled “Building Resilience and Accelerating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Through Technology.” Since the GCTF’s 2015 program launch, this is the first event to focus on how technology can bolster resilience and accelerate progress towards meeting the SDGs.

In his opening remarks, Deputy Director Cornforth said, “Although Taiwan is prevented from participating meaningfully in the World Health Assembly and many other international organizations, today’s event will highlight the many ways that Taiwan is sharing its expertise and using its technological prowess to help the international community solve shared challenges. The United States remains committed to expanding Taiwan’s international space.”
