Idols and Jesus.

Habakkuk 2:18-20...
What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For it's maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols! Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a silent stone, Arise! Can this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver and there is no breath at all in it, But the Lord (good words right there!) is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.

My observations:
Idols are of no profit; Jesus is treasure.
Idols are shaped into creation; Jesus is the Creature.
Idols are metal and rust, therefore lifeless; Jesus is life.
Idols are teachers of lies; Jesus is truth.
Idols are not dependable; Jesus is trustworthy.
Idols are speechless; Jesus is the Word of God.
Idols are unfree and subordinate; Jesus is sovereign.
Idols are wood and stone; Jesus took the cross and broke free from the tomb and is in His holy temple and coming back to get us!
