" But Jesus -- he delivers us from false gods. Tasting and seeing Jesus is the expulsive, new affection that drives out our love affair with idols. Jesus must be more fascinating to us than any new ways of living. Jesus must be more compelling to us than any temporary circumstance. Jesus must be more valuable to us than any trinket or toy. Jesus must be more real to us than any fleeting self-image or narcissistic self-actualization. Jesus Christ liberates us; he is the one who breaks the power that idols have in our lives. "
