Isaiah 41:21-24 (MSG) Sham Gods“Set out your case for your gods, says GOD. Bring your evidence,” says the King of Jacob. Take the stand on behalf of your idols, offer arguments, assemble reasons. Spread out the facts before us so that we can assess them ourselves. Ask them, ‘If you are gods, explain what the past means—or, failing that, tell us what will happen in the future. Can’t do that? How about doing something—anything! good or bad—whatever. Can you hurt us or help us? Do we need to be afraid?’ They say nothing, because they are nothing—sham gods, no-gods, fool-making gods.”
As Christians do we still get drawn into almost worshiping those claiming to be the great and the good, when often they are neither, but do they sometimes push Jesus into the background of our lives?
