Jesus Christ and Idol?

An image used as an object of worship. b. A false god. 2. One that is adored, often blindly or excessively. 3. Something visible but without substance. This is the definition of idol. I read this morning that Kanye West declared Jesus Christ one of his idols. The bible tells us to avoid idol worship. In the 10 commandments we are told to not put any false gods before the true and living God. We are told to place our faith and trust in Jesus Christ. I would say that the way we conduct ourselves allows others to see whether Jesus Christ is our Savior or our idol. If we live a life that shows that Jesus Christ is far from us, we are showing Him as an idol. If we live like His word is shaping our lives, then we are showing the world around us that he is our savior. We need to be careful not to let Jesus become our idol.
