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!

The fancy recording of the interview with @thepeakmalaysia is now out too! Love the production value from the team there 🤩
(As well as the longer online article in my bio, if you’re old school, and like to read, not watch)
-
As I said when the magazine article came out, I really enjoyed this chat 😃 It’s a funny one because this is probably the last time you’ll hear me talking about @joompa in the guise it’s been in for the past 4 years.
-
💻 This week our big, new dev team commenced work on the evolution of Joompa, taking us much deeper into the world of fitness technology and creating an incredibly intelligent solution 🧠 that will make personalised fitness accessible to WAY more people.
-
In this video you’ll hear about how Joompa came about, but honestly we’re yet to solve the problem I set out to back then 🤔
-
I thought that the issue with people getting good quality personalised fitness was just that they couldn’t find it 🤷🏻♂️ We were the first serious local players in a now well populated space, but it turns out that was a small part of the equation 👌🏽 Actually they needed convincing it was worth it; which involves introducing them slowly into what a profound effect it can have on their lives 🏃♀️ and it being provided at a price point that they can afford 💰
-
More on this in the months to come, but we’re about to change the game, one crazy idea at a time.

有女儿是幸福的。我有你们俩,双倍幸福。❤ Happy International Daughter's Day, my dears.
I don't think I could have survived the past year if not for the two of you. I see how you have matured and grown as big sisters, how you try your best to teach and tolerate your younger brother, how you dote on the baby to the moon and back, how you enjoy being little Mamas and helping to change diapers, bathe, carry and calm him when he cries, how you try your best to cope with HBL, homework and revision independently, how you care for each other and like to share girly secrets, and last but not least, how you love me and Papa too.
Growing up, I thought having two kids would be ideal but that notion changed along the way. A big part of it was because seeing the two of you grow up into who you are made me feel like it would be wonderful to have a bigger family. Indeed, both of you have welcomed your siblings with open arms and are the best daughters and best sisters I could dream of, and I am so thankful that we are where we are today.
No doubt we will still have a great deal of challenges to tackle as you two become tweens and teens in a year or two, yet somehow, I know one way or another, we are gonna be all right. No, in fact, we are gonna be more than all right. We will weather every storm hand in hand and through it all, you two will be my BFFs and hopefully, I can be someone whom you are willing to share all your ups and downs, joy and woe with too.
Thank you for making me believe that I can be a good mum and for motivating me to be even better every day. I love you, my girls. ❤

?? Greetings as always, from Hanoi, Vietnam. After my "lovely" clickbaity thumbnail from the last video, I didn't want to waste a 20km drive from Noi Bai airport back into the city, so I thought what better way to enjoy the drive than to share it with you guys.
In this video I discuss about what it's really like driving in Vietnam. I've been driving here fro 3 years, and I also have my A1 motorbike license. I took both the theory and road test, and I've driven through rain, shine, over mountain passes, along windy coastlines, and through just about every terrain you can imagine. I love driving here in Vietnam, despite the dangers and stress it can bring. Come with me as I show you how it is.

「海に行こうか」
産まれた日に波の音がした
学校も海沿いを帰った
初恋は砂浜に座って
拳一個分の距離のまま夕陽が沈んだ
やがて地元を出て遠く遠い空の下
「海は繋がっているから」と涙をぬぐった
いつしか海は記憶の遠く遠い片隅に
今日も駆け足で電車へと乗り込んだ
涙が止まらない日は 海にいこうか
消えて無くなりたいならその前に 海に行こうか
道に迷って行き場をなくしたら 海に行こうか
お酒に飲まれた翌朝は 海にいこうか
いつしか都会の波に疲れて
恋をすることで心の隙間埋めてみた
最初は海の代わりの癒しのはずが
気付けば恋は愛へと変わっていった
「子育てをするならやっぱり海のそばがいいね」と
通いなれた馴染みの海沿いの道を歩いた
君の後ろ姿に過去の自分を重ねて
小さな背中を目を細めて見送った
約束が何もない日には 海に行こうか
一人夜風にあたりたくなったら 海に行こうか
一人ぼっちが嫌になったのなら 海に行こうか
気が変わったら誰かを誘って 海にいこうか
自分がだれか分からなくなったら 海に行こうか
自分が嫌いで仕方がないなら 海に行こうか
誰かを傷付けてしまった日には 海にいこうか
誰の言葉も聞きたくない日は
辛いことを笑い飛ばすため 海に行こうか
キツイことも涙で流すため 海に行こうか
幸せすぎて言葉にならない日には 海に行こうか
愛おしい人と手を繋いで 海に行こうか
「To The Sea」
There were sound of waves on the day I was born
The way to school was also walking by a seaside road
First love sitting on the beach, watching the sun set
Eventually I left my hometown, now walking under a different sky
"I told myself the sea is connected" and wiped my tears.
The days go by, sound of the waves are in a far corner of my memories
As I rush into closing door on a train
Let's go to the sea on a day when your tears don't stop
If you wanna disappear, go to the sea just for second thoughts
Go to the sea if you get lost and lose your spot in the circle
Let's just go to the sea when you have the drossiest hangover
Tired of waves upon waves of people in the crowded city
I tried to fill the gap in my heart by falling in love
At first it was just a fill-up, but when I noticed, like turned to real love
"If I wanted to raise a child, I’d like the child to grow up near the sea."
As I walked along a familiar seaside road,
Waving at a small back like back in my childhood days
Let's go to the sea on a day when you have no promises
If you want to hit the night breeze alone, let's go to the sea
If you don't like being alone, let's go to the sea
If you change your mind, maybe invite someone to go along with you
Go to the sea if you don’t know who you are
If you hate yourself and can't help it, let's go to the sea
Go to the sea on a day you hurt someone’s heart
Or even on days when you don't wanna anybody to talk to
Let's go to the sea to laugh out the pain
Let's go to the sea to shed tears
Let's go to the sea on a day when we are too happy to speak
Let's go to the sea and hold hands with the loved one
