Star Wars: retold by someone who has never seen it.



First off, I LOVE Star Wars! This was funny to watch...especially with the animation.

It made me think of the way people seem to view the Jesus, the Bible and Christianity. From the outside, it all kinda sounds like Dark Side of the Force, Luke Skywalker, and Ewoks all over again. Weird ingredients to an even weirder story.

I mean, when all you hear is the strange stories about a God who kills thousands of people for disobeying him but really LOVES you...
That he has a son whose mom was a virgin...
That this son walked on water, and supposedly is now living inside of people who believe in him...

Without understanding the plot and context of all those things, I can see why some people have a skewed view of God and His Church. The Bible is full of weird, crazy, and mysterious things!

But, pick up the Bible, read it and soon discover...from COVER to COVER, God's Story makes sense! HIS PLOT to create the Human Race, reveal Himself, rescue us, restore us, and redeem us is clearly seen!

Nothings disconnected. Every character, every story, every victory, and every defeat is a part of HIS PLAN!!!

In the same way you wouldn't watch this video and think you've seen Star Wars...You probably wouldn't want to say you know God if you haven't spent the time to read what He says.

Get to know God by feasting on His words and His thoughts found in the Bible.
