It's something we never think about. Actually, we probably think its one of the most positive and uplifting things we can say. It seems harmless, and to some, maybe it is. But to a Christian?
The worst thing you can ever say to a Christian is this:
"I idolize you."
You see when you say that, you're saying you put us on a pedestal, when we're as broken as can be. You're saying that we're better than you because our lives seem more "together" You're saying that you want to emulate US instead of Christ.You're putting us on the same pedestal that the Golden Calf was on and Jesus is being diminished.
I live a Matthew 20:16 life for this reason, so that Jesus may be exalted, and I may be humbled. I am a servant to the one true king. So please, never ever idolize a Christian. Revere the one who came before us, who died for us. He is the only one worthy of such praise.
