Werewolves and Villagers
The game Werewolves and Villagers is fun. The villagers must identify and hunt for the werewolves before it will kill all of them. The werewolves only come out under the cover of night when everybody goes to sleep. In the daytime, they look pretty normal, they don't show their fangs, they pretend like they are ordinary folks in the village.
This is a picture of us all. There is a werewolf in all of us. In God's sight, none of us is a villager. We know that we are spiritual werewolves deep within. We know what we did in secret under the cover of night when no one was looking no matter how we deny or cover it. We are "...brute beasts...to be caught and destroyed. " 2 Peter 2:12.
We may ascend the stairs of respectability in the village or in society. We may be voted as the Most Outstanding Villager Of The Year but at the core of our being we are all sinners. We have devoured someone at least at one point in our lives either in outward behavior or in our hearts and minds.
What we need is a new nature. We need to be transformed. And that can only take place if we are transformed into a new creature by faith in Christ. Come to Christ in faith and be born again into a new creature, yes, into a true villager in the community of God's people and village.
