The Mandalorian, Law and Love
Star Wars is no stranger to religious themes, and The Mandalorian is no exception. What happens when Mando's strict code contradicts itself? Will he choose law or love? The Mandalorian's way of mercy illustrates for us Jesus' own injunction to choose mercy over sacrifice. This is a teaching with real-world consequences!

How easily do we reduce Jesus’ new life to ‘spirituality’? We think of God’s Kingdom as one area of our lives – what we do on Sundays, or with a small group, or when we’re engaging in religious activities. But Jesus tells us stories that invite us to imagine a Kingdom so big it encompasses our whole lives. A new life that can’t be measured, can’t be quantified because it’s too big, too excellent. This kingdom is worth everything we have and more. It demands everything from us and when we give it all, we wish we could give more. This new life Jesus offers is priceless!
