Moving Forward

By using the analogy of chess and focusing on the pawn, we can see throughout the Bible how God chose “regular common” individuals to fulfill His purpose.  At first glance, the pawn is considered the weakest piece and it is only able to move forward; however, its significance increases as it reaches the other side of the chessboard, becoming more valuable by reaching it’s full potential.  Just like us, we have a similar goal in life as we move forward, learning from mistakes along the way, so we can ultimately reach our goal to eternal life.
