Vibranium is a non-earth metal that has “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves the power to absorb vibrations. During their war for control of the meteorite, one of the and two fish; but what good are these for so warriors discovered a “heart-shaped herb” that when ingested gave him super human strength many?” - John 6:9 and agility. This warrior became the first “Black Panther” and united four of the five tribes into a single kingdom. This new kingdom called Wakanda decided to keep its technology and the vibranium a secret and therefore it appears to the world to be nothing more than an ordinary The miracle of the Loaves and Fishes is third-world country. the only miracle which is recorded six times in the Gospel.

After failing to capture Klaue, *General Offertory $18,164.50 T’Challa returns home a second time and this time he receives a challenge for the throne from someone claiming to be his cousin.

First Spiritual Insight: “Illusions of division threaten our very existence.” Debt Reduction $836 During the credits at the end of the movie, King T’Challa gives a speech to the United Nations. The following quote is from that speech: Lily & Hammer Club $0 “Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We cannot. We must not. We will work to be an example YTD $32,927* of how we as brothers and sisters on this earth should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions * Includes envelopes & holy days of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than divides us. But in times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” In Proverbs 14 it says, There are so many powerful thoughts in this speech but maybe the most important is that "Blessed is he who is T’Challa realizes that it is not just to be good and take care of oneself. We must also be an generous to the poor." example to others of virtue. Jesus put it this way: Some of our neighbors do “You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and not feel very blessed. They then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, may have just lost a job or had a tough your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father”. medical illness.

And it’s hard for a good man to be a king.” Building on the old “To couples who superhero message of great power bringing great responsibility, this sage wisdom from cannot have T’Challa’s father, King T’Chaka, plays out in the tough decisions T’Challa is faced with as children of their own, you are no less Black Panther. I sometimes wonder why people assume that following Jesus is somehow going loved by God; your love for each other is to make their lives problem free. We should all realize that it is hard to be “good” in a world complete and fruitful when it is open to that encourages the opposite.
