How Star Wars can teach us about God

1. The Rebels in Star Wars keep fighting against the Empire no matter what the odds. So, you could say that the Rebels are steadfast in what they are doing, just like we should be.

2. Clone Troopers support their Jedi generals at any cost, just like we should support God at any cost.

3. Yoda, a Jedi master, who has been in the Jedi order for over 800 years, still had a little darkness in him. No matter how holy we think we are, we still might have some doubt.

4. Anakin Skywalker, who later becomes Darth Vader, turned to the dark side because of his fear and anger. People usually turn away from God because they are scared, or they think God didn’t provide for them.

5. Obi-Wan Kenobi sacrificed himself so that the Rebels could escape the Death Star. God sacrificed Jesus so that we could escape death from sin.

6. A light saber is the weapon of the Jedi and it should never leave their side, just as the Bible should never leave a Christian’s side.

7. Yoda is small, but powerful. Matthew 7:20 says if we have faith like a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible.

8. Han Solo saved Luke Skywalker from Darth Vader because he was a steadfast friend. Jesus saves us and is our steadfast friend.
