Image worship is the sinner’s tendency. We are prone to revere images that are beautiful, and then to misuse them. We can make idols out of anything visual: crucifixes, icons of the saints, images of Mary, images of Jesus, the profile of a potato chip, the outline created by the water stain on a wall, etc. The danger is rooted in our hearts. Our tendency is to worship bronze and to ignore the God who heals the dying.
