Walking Zombies
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★ONE of my favorite shows was Night of the Living Dead, when
all of these zombies would come out of a graveyard wrapped in
grave clothes. They were dead, but they were walking, moving,
and functioning.
That’s what the Bible says this world is—it’s a graveyard,
and we are walking zombies outside of Jesus Christ. We are
entombed in a casket with three locks on it. One lock is the
world, another lock is the Devil, and the third is the flesh.
The point
Outside of Christ, humans are like walking dead—animated but spiritually lifeless, trapped by the world, the Devil, and the flesh. Spiritual rebirth through Christ is essential life.
