"Did you see that? -- I can't believe it! The Road Warriors have turned on STING!
-- their own partner!"
So went the announcer -- on and on, as the crowd
"boo'ed" and cheered. In the center of the wrestling ring, two men called the
Road Warriors, had just "pulverized" the three-man opposing team, and were now
turning their tumbles, jabs, slaps, and what-have-you against Sting, the third
member of their own team!
Unlike, the perplexed announcer, I think it is
easy to figure out what was going on. The Road Warriors apparently saw better
opportunities on the "dark side" of the ring; better matches, more notoriety,
more money. Surely, even if you have seen only one wrestling match, you know
they are full of symbolism; good verses bad, nice verses mean, decent verses
deceitful . . . costumes and gimmicks give it away.
1 PETER 2:4-5:
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
