Rey leaves Endor in Kylo Ren’s TIE fighter and heads to Ahch-To. Soon after arriving, Rey sets the TIE ablaze, and throughs log after log onto the fire.
She pauses and takes a long look at her lightsaber before throwing it into the fire.
Luke’s Force ghost catches the saber, and he replies, “A Jedi’s weapon deserves more respect.”
After Rey tells him about her vision, she tells him about her plans to stay on Ahch-To like Luke had decided to do.
He replies, “I was wrong. It was fear that kept me here. What are you most afraid of?” She replies, “Myself.”
As they discuss her Palpatine family line and Rey’s destiny, Luke talked about how “Confronting fear is the destiny of a Jedi.”
We are told in 1 John 4:18, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
We are made perfect in love if we accept John 3:16. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
While confronting fear might be the destiny of a Jedi, we all have a destiny that brings us before the judgment seat of Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:10 reminds us that “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.”
We know from many verses that God is good, just, and righteous, including 1 Chronicles 16:34, Psalm 73:1, Psalm 119:68, Psalm 145:9, Nahum 1:7, Mark 10:18, and James 1:17.
And as such, He will give us what we all deserve, except for those who are in Christ. To them, He will give eternal life.
Who will we share the Gospel with today?
