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!

【#狂迷投稿】文：電影人在野 《#凶靈祭》
// 無限接近真實的恐怖 //

好耐無體驗過後勁強勁既電影，尋晚訓教既時候順手熄燈，諗起上身女鬼係唔知咩位爬出黎個樣...我開番燈，碌多半個小時電話先訓。
.
如果話拍鬼故唔使恐怖都得，未免就同連登仔講「買股票目標唔一定為賺錢」咁虛偽。而事實上本電影既行進力量，就同《閃靈》／《驅魔人》一樣強大，利用偽記錄片手法，帶你進入泰國人滿天神靈既世界。
.
行進既過程或者緩慢，但有效，呢種沉浸式既觀影，令你一步步走入薩滿＞惡靈既世界觀，由第一鏡開始，一輪空鏡，展示山、石、廟同供品，一連串有效既符號，構成左強而有力既氣氛，令你知道大自然個種無情同恐怖，最後睇住少女如何一步步走入邪魔中，所以全套電影真係JUMP SCARE 既位得一個，但氣氛壓到我啟動左「過濾模式」（用手遮到得番字幕）既就不下十次。
.
演員亦係不可多得，假演難做，但真係更加難做，女主角薩滿「念」既撲素同對答，真係好似司徒法正走入深山搵高僧黎訪問咁，但同一時間，「念」係處理「人」事上既無力、關懷同愛，都有無限度既展示，絕對係現力派。
.
從來未試過咁清新、脫俗既感覺，韓國仔既拍法、泰國仔既鬼故，溝埋一齊既威力，居然比老鼠斑有過之而無不及，甚至比我既初戀更加詩情畫意，所謂「舉頭望明月，低頭思故鄉」，係我受嚇完第二日再深思番呢套野，我感覺到兩種東西
.
1: 絕望
「天地不仁，以萬物為芻狗」
電影開首有講，萬物有靈，但只有人既自大，相信自己可以操控命運，相信自己可以違經背道，係人倫人力既強大下控制一切，以為可以將命運改嫁比他人。
然而，神靈根本DONT GIVE A FUCK，佢審視你既態度同你被上身既邪靈根本一致，人類既維度極其量只能係佢既喜怒下苛且過日，而最後一場，係真神下凡大屠殺、定係邪神上身反撲，毫無分別。所以《兇靈祭》隱隱表達出克穌魯既味道，叔叔很喜歡。
.
２：溫水煮娃既庸懶
.
觀眾都認為角色好蠢，點解唔早D求救、點解唔早D離開、點解XＸＸ點解YＹＹ。
因為人性就係庸懶，君不見年中多少人係大災難現場，唔係舉機拍，就係駐足睇，係大難臨頭以前，每個人都以為自己係幸運離得開既一群。
同時，就好似《驅魔人》中既媽媽同女兒，點解出事第一日唔搵神父？因為搵神父係「觀眾視點」，但角色受限於佢既教育、性格、身世，身陷於無能而求救不能。
媽媽點解唔早D行動？因為心有鬼，因為有內疚，因為有害怕...因為直到大難臨頭，先識得割捨。
.
觀眾好喜歡聰明於一切，聰明過導演、劇情、佈局...但要行入去，你先理解到每個人做緊乜野。

Hook:

I promise I’ll protect ya
I know it sounds like bluff
So old fashion luv

Verse 1:
Baby girl，妳說的話
我裱了框，掛在牆上
最明亮的地方
妳的髮香，我帶回家

就是希望今晚妳能留下
妳卸了妝，不再躲藏
成為日常

Baby girl，妳種了花
佈置了家，然後再慢慢的忘記他
You got my key, you’ll be my queen
將過去 鎖在舊行李箱

新的牙刷，更大的床
在一起養了妳最愛的貓
床頭燭光，我對妳唱
Oh baby baby

這個聲音 一聽就醉
來自L.A. 超純RnB
復古新人 LEE
這是他的復刻浪漫〈Old Fashion Luv〉
聽見他音樂裡的自溺浪漫，進入他灰色迷離的人格特質

歌曲的創作靈感受影集《安眠書店》裡的詭譎與浪漫情懷觸動，在複雜的社會裡，希望用最單純的方式，表達自己的愛意。編曲由製作人海大富與音樂人KVN以復古R&B的方式，用空間感建立家裡的環境、編織出家裡可能會發生的浪漫，透過LEE的唱腔，喃喃地自言自語，加上許多對於愛情的幻想，也許，老派浪漫就像他唱的那樣，一種不褪流行的感動。MV視覺以兩個不同時空的LEE互相交錯著，從現在看困在未發生愛情裡的自己、從未來看過去那裡充滿老派浪漫情懷的自己。

也許你曾聽過他的聲音，身為獨立音樂人的LEE，在自家製作音樂，幾年前將歌曲投遞到spotify上架，從國際數位音樂平台開始，一個全新的聲音跳了出來，爾後他也將自己的作品放上street voice，引起喜歡獨立樂迷們的注意；去年推出的《LUST》號稱Dark Soul樂風，在網路上掀起一股討論：Ozi、瘦子、孫盛希、音樂人剃刀蔣，都同聲驚艷推薦。

這是LEE的創作，今年夏天宅家歌單必收錄的一首，推薦給你，老派浪漫 new soul的〈Old Fashion Luv〉。
