I listen to the Bible( The Bible Experience) on CD in the car. I do allot of driving on Fridays. Today I was driving Thomas. We heard the part where Jesus is taken into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. The voice of the Devil sounded mean and with authority. Thomas thought it was Pharaoh. I said no, that's the Devil. He did not know who the Devil was. I told him the Devil is this very beautiful angel that God created. He was so beautiful, and had so much power that he thought he should be equal to God. So God kicked him out of heaven. In this story he was trying to get Jesus to worship him. Thomas still did not understand. I decided to put it in terms he could grasp. I said that the Devil was like Darth Vader, and Jesus was like Luke Skywalker. Then Thomas said no Jesus was Obi-Wan, I said no...In this story Jesus is Luke because the Devil (Darth Vader) is trying to get him to join the dark side of the force. He got it. Now we know Darth Vader is Luke's father, so that’s far as we are going with this!
