Acts 6:13 KJV
And set up false witnesses, which said, This man
ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
See the idolatry that had set in Israel . Their
concern was for the place and not the Person of God. Stephen had not spoken any
blasphemy against the law of God, but the very Word of God speaks of the
destruction of both Jerusalem and of the Temple there.
The Jews had taken their religion to a level
never sanctioned by God; they had turned the place and the things used in
worship as objects of worship.
What sin we are so capable of when we make
things the object of our worship! Even sanctified instruments of God may become
the tools of terrible idolatry, leading to gross sin.
- We worship God alone
- We hallow His name alone
We worship Him and the truth He has given us;
not a building, a place or any other object of human creation.
