The definition of a pawn is a person or thing manipulated and used by others or a game piece in the game of chess. A person unwittingly used in a scheme and taken advantage of by others is an example of a pawn.
The conversation in the garden between Eve and Satan is the manipulation of a pawn. The meeting of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler in 1938 is another case in point.
A nephew in jail asking me for bail money, when I don’t have a nephew in jail, is my personal example. (It didn’t work on me.) The constant phone scams looking for a pawn seem to have no end.
The Bible makes it clear in this game of life.
For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the LORD.
These verses are just the tip of the iceberg with individuals seeking a pawn.
Don’t become one.
Give it some thought.
