Someone said that whereas God warned the ancient Hebrews not to have any gods except him, today he would rebuke our society for having no god at all. But the first of the Ten Commandments doesn’t say, “Be sure to have a god.” Instead, the sense is, “Be sure to have the right God.”
We human beings are incurably religious. Everyone worships something or someone. There are no exceptions to this rule. Human life and worship are as inseparable as sun and light. There is no such thing as a pure atheist. If we don’t worship the Lord Jesus, we’ll worship money, a house, a reputation, some movie or music star (as in, “American Idol”), or something else.
As we celebrate Jesus today, let’s rejoice not merely that we’re worshiping, but that we’re worshiping the right God!
