Jack-n-Jesus

No wonder I like 24 so much. As Mark Driscol points out in this post at The Resurgence, Jack Bauer can be seen as a type of Christ.

• Jack and Jesus are both dudes who worked in construction.
• Jack and Jesus have disciples and Jack’s disciples have names like Chloe, Michelle, Bill, and Tony.
• Jack and Jesus do not lie and can be trusted to accomplish whatever they promise.
• Jack and Jesus both oppose evil and seek to bring forth a glorious shalom world, free of tyranny and evildoers.
• Jack and Jesus were both betrayed by a close friend who ended up dying as a result of his sin.
• Jack and Jesus are both saviors willing to lay down their life for those they love.
• Jack and Jesus were both resurrected from death; Jack was essentially put to death to fool the Chinese government and then resuscitated.
