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
the best of youth 在 [好雷] 燦爛時光The Best of Youth - 精華區movie - 批踢踢實業坊 的必吃
"Life is shit. And love is shit, too."
今晚的稍早，我對生活一切都忿恨不平的牢騷，大概可以作為那一夜，Metteo決定自窗
台躍下的心情註解。
Nicola和Metteo像是月亮的兩個面，向陽的Nicola總是溫和樂觀、風趣禮貌、對生命
充滿愛與熱情；背陽的Metteo則是憤世嫉俗、壓抑疏離、自我與衝動偏激。這部電影
從他們大學時代開始，描述了四十年左右這對義大利兄弟的遭遇與其家庭的變化。我要
感謝推薦我這部電影的人(雖然我們不認識)，但它實在是一部不可多得的佳片，很高興
我沒有錯過它。
六個小時的片長，的確會成為觀賞第一障礙。但奇妙的是，它不走好萊塢電影必須得
灑狗血或製造個什麼意外來刺激觀眾感官好讓你忘記時間那一套，它就是平鋪直述地
說著我們都會經歷的故事: 準備考試與舞會把妹、少年無所懼的輕狂與正義感、無盡
揮霍的青春自由、墜入愛河、擁有家庭、工作、失去至親、年老、兒女長成...等等，
你完全感受不到拖泥帶水與滯膩沉重，節奏是那麼剛好，幾乎完美。
我很喜歡導演Marco Tullio Giordana的運鏡與取景，他在這部電影用了非常大量的特
寫，演員頭部或上半身出現在畫面的一邊，然後另一邊留白(我也喜歡這樣構圖照相)，
光線造成的對比強烈，而色彩非常飽和。
當初上映時電影分成"綻放的青春"與"美麗的人生"兩部。而很不幸的(或是幸運?)我的
觀看順序是先第二部再第一部(因為拿錯了...Orz)，卻看出另一番風味。第一，先看下
集並沒有明顯的突兀感，很少出現令我困惑的場景；第二、我先經歷了劇中人物的哀傷、
絕望、死亡再重生的部分，然後才回頭去看當初是什麼樣的際遇，造就了後面他們如此
迥然不同的人生。我彷彿成了先知已看盡他們往後的遭遇，所以當他們感到快樂與幸福
之際，我分外珍惜那些美好的曾經。如果說第二部給我一種灰暗後再見曙光的感覺，那
麼第一部相較之下顯得多彩與光明。
隨著劇中人物的移動，我們也到了羅馬、挪威、西西里島、波隆那和托斯卡尼，飽覽各
地風景美不勝收(喔! 那西西里島的藍與白呀! 以及托斯卡尼的田園風光!)。其時代背景
縱跨了義大利近40年來所發生的重大事件，包括60年代佛羅倫斯大水災、70年代的都靈
工潮、80年代米蘭的學生運動，以及90年代義大利復甦風潮...等等，也小小的學到一些
歷史常識。我唯一的遺憾是，Nicola與Julia一見鍾情時，Julia演奏的鋼琴曲目是那
麼耳熟，答案呼之欲出卻又沒有頭緒，真叫我痛苦不已。
這樣好看的一部電影，難怪曾經被票選為世界年度十大好片，難怪被稱為義大利近年來
最傑出的電影。
你/妳一定不能錯過。
