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!

SHOULD YOU QUIT YOUR JOB NOW?
“You have to help me quit my job!”
Even though the video was off, I could tell from Bria’s voice that she was in tears. This strong woman couldn’t keep herself together anymore.
“You’re experiencing strong emotions now. That’s very natural,” I said, wanting to help her feel safe and accepted.
After all, Bria and I had only met once in an event. Knowing that I was a coach, she reached out the next day to see if I could help.
If there’s anything I’ve learned from my years of coaching, it’s that when the person is emotional, you need to give them the space to feel it.
So as Bria sobbed, I stayed silent, feeling my belly rise and fall with each breath. After a short while, I could sense that her wave of emotion had passed.
“Shall we take one long easy breath together?” I asked.
I heard her breathing with me. I paused, allowing Bria the time to settle, then I asked her to tell me what’s so difficult to her about her job.
After listening to her sharing, I said: “I can definitely help you, Bria.” I heard a sigh of relief on the other end. “But only if you promise me you won’t quit your job yet.”
3 months after that conversation, Bria waltzed in my office one evening holding a bottle of red wine: “Let’s celebrate!”
She had a giddy grin on her face, the very special grin with a dimple that I’d come to love after many hours supporting her. “Oh! Is it okay for us to drink a glass of wine in our coaching session?” She asked.
I laughed: “Of course. What are we celebrating?”
Bria said, her face brightened even more: “I just realized today that I have the perfect job!”
The most fascinating thing about this story is that the “perfect job” she referred to was the exact same job she had practically begged me to help her quit.
Bria’s circumstances hadn’t changed. But her experiences of the circumstances had changed 180 degrees. Why? Because she did.
Bria’s story teaches me once again, that life is truly created from the inside out.

God’s Unquenchable Love
“Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.” (Song of Solomon 8:7 WEB)
Your sins were like many waters, but it cannot quench God’s love for you.
When the children of Israel were about to cross from the wilderness to the land of Canaan, they stood before the river Jordan. The ark of the covenant entered the river first, and the waters parted, gathering up as a heap far away over the city of Adam. This is a picture of Jesus removing our sins, even all the way back to Adam’s original sin, by taking God’s judgment for sin in His own body at the cross.
Jesus stripped Himself of His divine glory, became a man, was humiliated like a criminal, suffered excruciatingly and died a bloody death.
Jesus gave all the wealth of His house for love. He did that because He loves you.
It does not make any sense. You might call such a love ‘foolish’. That is just how much God loves you.
“A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God. You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.” When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.” But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.” (Luke 18:18-23 WEB)
When Jesus tested the rich young ruler by asking him to sell all his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor, the man could not do it.
Jesus is the true rich forever-young ruler from Heaven who has all the best treasures. At the cross, He sold everything and gave it all to you.
He was made poor so that we might become rich. He was treated like the worst sinner so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!
Receive Jesus’ unquenchable love for you. See the great price He paid to redeem you. Know that you are very precious to God!
It is so wonderful to see Jesus in action by reading the four gospels. When we see Jesus, we also get to know God the Father. Understand the four gospels through the lens of grace in this bundle: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

歡迎光臨~我是樂筆!
我有一個單身27年的朋友,每天嚷嚷著想結婚,但既然這麼想結婚,為什麼從來沒交過女朋友呢?這天終於邀請他來上節目分享這些年間他是如何保守自己、預備自己、認識自己的~(但真心祝福幼稚的他可以變得符合實際年齡些)
你怎麼看待單身呢?會不會有點害怕、有點著急?有時候覺得自由自在,但有時候又忍不住懷疑自己的價值?單身不代表你不好,只是屬於你的季節尚未到來,不論單身或進入關係,你永遠值得被愛!趁著單身,趕快KO人生的各樣待辦事項,修正自己生命的bug!願每個人都成熟的進到關係中,成為祝福並且建立美好的家庭。
最後,跟聽眾說聲抱歉!不好意思我們平常太熟所以節目裡面講太多幹話,非常很努力才把它們修掉,所以時長只剩下30分鐘😂😂😂
註:基督徒數據王們應該有發現老易說撒拉99歲生以撒,是錯的!以撒在撒拉90歲、亞伯拉罕100歲時出生!這段老易口誤,懇請他的組員、朋友、粉絲(?)與未來老婆不要懷疑他的專業度(嗯,我被逼迫加上這段)。
創世紀17:19你妻子撒拉要給你生一個兒子,你要給他起名叫以撒,我要與他堅定所立的約,作他後裔永遠的約。
Welcome to Sunlight!
My friend, single for 27 years, is always yelling that he wants to get married. Why he never gets a girlfriend although he wants to get married? Finally I ask him to share how he keeps himself, prepares himself and knows himself these years~(Wish him meets the actual age)
What do you think about singledom? Are you a little afraid of or anxious? Sometimes you feel free but sometimes feel worthless? Being single doesn’t mean you’re not good enough, instead, meaning that it’s not quite ready yet. No matter you’re single or not, you’re always worthy of love! Get your to-do list down ASAP when you’re single, and “debug” your life! Hope you guys become mature first and then take off the single, bless others and found families.
Lastly, I’m sorry! Because we’re so familiar that we talk trash too much. I’m trying hard to delete so there are only 30 minutes left in the episode. 😂😂😂
Note: If you’re Christians, you may find that Ethan is wrong for saying “Sarah bore Isaac when she was 99 years old.” Isaac was born when Sarah was 90 years old and Abraham was 100 years old. It’s a slip of the tongue. Hope his group members, friends, fans(?) and the wife in the future believe his professionalism(Well, I’m forced to add it.)
Genesis 17:19 King James Bible
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

Lyrics:
I know that it's wrong
我知道事情的走向不對
Thinking I could call you up
本以為我可以給你打電話挽回
You said we were done
你說我們已經結束了
But I'm not good at moving on
但我卻無法開始新的生活
Cause my memory keeps replaying
回憶揮之不去
And my heart just won't stop breaking
我心碎不已
Oh I wish you'd pick up the phone
我多希望你可以再給我一個機會
And tell me that I’m not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
告訴我不止我一人如此害怕孤獨
Tell me what we had is tearing you apart and baby, you know it
告訴我 憶起我們曾擁有的一切讓你悲痛欲絕
I still miss you
你明知我仍心悅於你
And I need you
你於我而言不可或缺
And I don't know why we let it go
我不懂為何我們就這樣結束
So tell me that I'm not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
請讓我知曉不止我一人如此害怕孤單
Can you fall asleep?
你能否安然入睡
Are you wishing you were here with me?
你是否仍希望與我一起
Did you really mean
你對我講的一字一句
Everything you said to me
是否認真
Cause my memory keeps replaying
回憶難以忘懷
And my heart just won’t stop breaking
我心如刀割
Oh I wish you'd pick up the phone
我多希望你可以再給我一個機會
And tell me that I'm not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
告訴我不止我一人如此害怕孤獨
Tell me what we had is tearing you apart and baby, you know it
告訴我 那些曾經也讓你悲痛欲絕
I still miss you
你明知我仍心悅於你
And I need you
我求你不得
And I don't know why we let it go
我疑惑於為何我們就此告別
So tell me that I'm not the only one who’s so afraid to be lonely
請讓我知曉不止我一人如此害怕孤單
Tell me that I'm not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
請告訴我你亦需要我
Tell me what we had is tearing you apart and baby, you know it
告訴我 回憶起那些美好也讓你肝腸寸斷
I miss you
你明知我忘不了你
And I need you
你於我而言不可或缺
And I don't know why we let it go
我不知為何我們的感情草草收場
So tell me that I’m not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
所以讓我知曉你也為此感到遺憾
And tell me that I’m not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
告訴我不止我一人害怕孤單
(Lonely)
孤單
Tell me what we had is tearing you apart and baby, you know it
告訴我 回憶起往事讓你肝腸寸斷
(I can't take this anymore)
這樣的生活我再也無法承受
I still miss you
你明知我對你情有獨鍾
(I still miss you)
想念你
And I need you
我無法忍受沒有你的生活
(And I need you)
需要你
And I don't know why we let it go
我不懂為何我們就此別過
So tell me that I'm not the only one who's so afraid to be lonely
所以請告訴我你亦無法釋懷

【無聲的嘆息 The Silent Sigh】I wrote this song about 18 months ago, 4 months after my breakup, never had the chance to post it because I was practicing my singing part, never nailed it so bailed it.
For those of you who don't know me well, including my close ones. I have been through 7 relationships, which means I fell in love 7 times. Every time I go through a breakup I repost this "People come and go, most of them just walk by. Life moves on. But some day I wish just one will stop by. Then, life goes on."
I don't stop. I don't stop working, I don't stop learning, I don't stop loving. I will always love hard and always harder. Love myself, love my family, friends. Love everyone, love those whom do not feel, love those who temp me to fall the most. For love has no limit, and knows no boundaries.
I am who I am.
Thank you for everyone who was a part of this relationship, may grace fall upon you like it has to me.
【無聲的嘆息 The Silent Sigh】Lyrics
you said you love me,
You said you care,
Seeing your text makes me feel you are near.
就像你的呼吸 輕踩踏旋律 此時此刻
溫柔的在我心裡 烙印下你的每刻
Happy moments is all I remember.
I mean forever, Almost got there.
Time flies, and there goes two years.
Told me to move to Paris,
I said I was scared.
I have no money
I'm not sure
But you said we can share.
No more fear
而我信了
還有彼此陪著
(C)
When the sky is blue
When the street reflects the moon
It is so beautiful
卻少了些什麼
When the sky is blue
When the street reflects the moon
It is so beautiful
還有什麼好在乎
I pray that love would come true.
-V2-
June 23rd,
We said goodbye at the airport,
you left with tears.
Hoping we would meet again in a different air.
I said don't worry, I'll be there.
我信守諾言來到巴黎
獨自一人遭受眾人質疑
我從不懷疑自己
雖然預想到了
但一切向我衝來時
我還是怕了
You are no longer there
Disappeared
And I can't find you anywhere
那並不是你的錯
但我還抱著希望祈求過
I'm stressed out, I'm pulling out my hair.
Never thought that would be the last time we felt for each other.
Please God, tell me Why life is so unfair,
Maybe I was just the missing puzzle of why you fear.
-RnB-
It's been a while,
You know?
I still miss you
I miss your ironic smile
I miss the way you look at me acorss the aisle
In your eyes 愛存在
You know?
I still think of you,
I don't want to but I just do,
I think of you when I'm alone,
when I'm walking to school,
before I close my eyes to snooze.
You know?
沒有你的巴黎
少了點浪漫氣息
那些一起的憧憬
暫時停留在心底
I never thought I would lose.
Lose my sleep, my mood
But never you...
