 People say the latest Star Wars movie is a retelling of the first, and I'd say the same thing about the Gospels. That's why I love Exodus so much. It's a new hope to the Gospels of the Force Awakens. In Exodus, Moses escapes Mass Infantside to become an unexpected leader. He encounters God while wandering in the wilderness, and through his obedience, the people of God are delivered from bondage and see a new way to live. Like Luke Skywalker and Rey, the story arcs of Moses and Jesus are remarkably similar. You can't have the Force Awakens without a new hope, and you can't have the Gospels without Exodus. Both are accounts of how God delivers us from bondage and into freedom.
