Good-Looking Dummies
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★A LUXURY car company had a powerful commercial some time ago. There were two dummies in the car. Engineers were going to crash the car into a wall in order to show how sturdy and solid the Lexus was. What caught my attention when I saw this commercial was what the dummies looked like.
They were dressed in suits and ties. One dummy had a hat on. The other dummy had his hand on the wheel sporting an expensive watch. They were good- looking dummies headed toward a brick wall.
When we go to our cars after church with our nice dresses and our nice suits and we sit in our nice vehicles, the question is, are you a dummy behind the wheel? Those dummies in the commercial were looking good, but they were headed toward disaster.
So it is possible to be a good-looking dummy. Many people are walking around today spiritually dead but don’t know it.
The point
Well-dressed dummies in a luxury car are headed toward disaster; many spiritual people appear successful and presentable but are spiritually dead.
