As Paul faithfully preached the gospel in Ephesus, many people turned away from idols to worship the living God. The truth of Christ exposed the emptiness of everything people had trusted instead of Him.
.
God alone is worthy of worship. Every idol eventually disappoints, but the Lord alone satisfies the hearts of those who seek Him.
.
Modern idols may not be carved from stone, but anything that captures my heart more than Christ can become an idol. Jesus alone deserves my highest affection, deepest trust, and wholehearted devotion.
.
As a Christian, we continually examine our hearts, laying down anything that competes with Christ for our worship. Beloved, let’s treasure Jesus above every earthly pursuit, knowing that He alone is worthy.
.
Acts 19:26 ~ And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.
