Life as a Jedi

Read this, and post a synopsis of what it means to you, in your intro topic.

Master Yoda looked at all the Younglings gathered that he was about to teach. They had come for a lesson on life as a Jedi. What is life like as a real life Jedi? **"Training to be a Jedi requires the deepest commitment, the most serious of minds, and even if you survive the training, it’s a tough life."**( Master Quigon) Life as a Jedi is one of sacrifice, dedication, humility, loyalty, compassion, patience, respect, self discipline, morality, honesty, forgiveness,diplomacy, leadership and ever present devotion to the Force. " Enough charecter traits to remember? I thought as much, I'll leave out the other 30, just kidding. The main trait to a Jedi is this; **"The Jedi are selfless- we erase the self, to join with the flow of the Force. We care only about others."** (Anakin Skywalker) As you learn, grow and train here at COJK remember, you are not only merely Jedi. But rather, you are Christian Jedi. That being said, you must answer to a higher calling. **"Your focus determines your reality."**(Master Quigon) "Like a drop of rain ripples out, as it hits the water, so my actions affect those around me. Therefore, as a Jedi, I must keep a constant vigil over my emotions. Should I feel myself slipping, must meditate on the code, and once again turn my focus to God and the Force." (Jedi Atreyu) Keep your mind tuned to both the Force, and Master Jesus. Always listen for his will, and that of the Force, in your life. You are strongly urged to set aside some time everyday, (preferably twice a day), for meditation and prayer. Doing this, will keep your mind clear, and tuned where it needs to be. You will be better able to respond to whatever Master Jesus, life and the Force bring your way.

Life as a Christian Jedi is one of compassion, humility and service to others. **"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost."** (Arthur Ash) **"But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them"** (Matthew 9:36) True, Jedi are not looking to become heros, but that quote brings up a good point about service. As you go through your life, remember to stop and help out whereever needed. But remember to be humble, just as Master Jesus was.
