Discipleship is FAB
Gerry Anderson probably did not design his popular puppet series with Christian Discpleship in mind!
“I believe that God has given me a word for you - and that word is …
Thunderbirds”
There are three aspects of discipleship in 1 Thess 2:1-15 that I want to talk about - and in some ways, the characteristics of Thunderbirds act as a good reminder:
- Thunderbird 1 : The father figure - being first on the ground, the leader, the guide
- Thunderbird 2 : The mother figure - carries other thunderbirds in the pod - speaks of nurturing
- Thunderbird 4 : Brothers and sisters - Seemed insignificant, but risked itself completely to save others
