The JEDI Will HUNT Themselves! What does this mean (and why Jesus says it's good)
Look - this may just be my giant man-crush on Ewan McGregor talking... but I love the latest Star Wars series Kenobi. From the sets to the story to the cast to the cameos - it is my absolute favorite thing that Star Wars has given us in a long time... aside from Visions, that doesn't count. But more than anything, I find myself gripped by Kenobi as a Christian. As usual, there is a severe bit of overlap and faith-based inspiration behind the storytelling - I mean, the force be with you is a bit on the nose - but it's a part of the Christian journey that doesn't get told often enough. Particularly joyful for me - it's downright Methodist.
The phrase that has been planted in my mind isn't spoken by Obi-Wan but is uttered with distaste by the villains over and over again: the Jedi will hunt themselves. What does this terrifying concept mean for us today? Do we want to be hunted? Let's talk about it.
