Mark Driscoll says that we should compare Jesus with Jack Bauer:
"At the risk of sounding blasphemous, I would like to offer the
suggestion that perhaps 24 is incredibly popular because Jack Bauer is
a lot like Jesus, as the following correlations indicate:... Jack and
Jesus both oppose evil and seek to bring forth a glorious shalom
world, free of tyranny and evildoers.... Jack and Jesus are both
saviors willing to lay down their life for those they love."
In response here is my top 10 of why Jack is not Jesus...
1. There is one constant in 24, Jack Baeur is impossible to kill... Jesus died.
2. Jack's method of conversation usually involves yelling while holding a Berretta (or whatever gun is available) and pointing it at the person... Jesus didn't have a gun.
3. Jack constantly endangers innocent people, usually killing them in the process... Jesus even healed the soldier.
4. Jack never does things by the book and hardly ever listens to those in command... Ok maybe this was Jesus too.
5. Jack never seems to need to sleep, pee, or eat in a 24 hour period... maybe Jesus could do this too, he did go 40 days.
6. Jack seems to always be in a dysfunctional relationship with a women who gets woven into the plot and often kidnapped or killed... Jesus did have the Mary Magdeline thing though...
7. Jack's kid can be kidnapped no less than 3 times in one 24 hour period... Did Jesus and Mary have kids?
8. Jack can be shot, stabbed, beat up, thrown from moving vehicles, crash planes and helicopters, and still be ready for the next fight in the same 24 hour period... Jesus died.
9. Jack was kidnapped by the Chinese... Jesus never was.
10. Jack is back for at least 2 more seasons... Jesus is forever.
Bonus round: Jack did die and comeback to life... so did Jesus. |
