False deity or the LIVING GOD it's a no brainer...

We went this summer to Chichibu and hung out at a park. On top of a nearby hill as I was playing with the camera and it telescopic lens I stumbled across this very large idol. I was shocked by its massiveness. Then reality settles in as I know there are people in trouble and suffering pain and misery and heartache praying to this deity. This Stone image has ears but can't hear, has eyes but can't see, mouth but can't speak. The soul has a deep need and desire to be placed back in touch with a person of greater power than their own to bring some kind of solace to the empty soul. We have been created with a drive within to worship. There is a sense of longing in the soul to release this need of worship and unload burdens and gratitude of life and death. The Japanese people have been taught for generations upon generations the gods of which they believe there may be many can help them. They must prove worthiness and show great honor and respect. One such devotee has erected this idol to prove worth and devotion of which I think he wasted a lot of time and effort. Now there are thousands of people coming to pay homage and respect to his deity he created. They year after year have to upkeep the image and maintain it. It is expensive. I don't know about you but I don't need a god made in my image and one I have to maintain. I need a God to create me into his image and to maintain me. Jesus Christ is my God. He has set me free from the bondage of this life and has given me hope for eternal life. Not only that he is always with me. I never have to go to his resting place and pay homage to him and hope that he will bless my life. Jesus came to bless us and give us Grace upon Grace. Such joy and happiness serving such a wonderful God. Those who pay homage to this deity can never know peace even after they die there is no hope for eternal life in heaven. Just a lot of painful memories of wasted time and money and energy serving a false god. Pray that many will come to repentance and serve the living God Jesus Christ.
