Sometimes we ask ourselves, why do we always seem to try so hard? We try so hard to get acceptance from others and we try to hard to become like the people we idolise, people that we think are pretty or handsome or seem to have it all together - Why don't we try that hard to be like Jesus? Why isn't He our main idol in our life, one that we aim to be like, in our actions, words and personality? How come He is just a God-figure to us, always there, of course; Great and Almighty and All-powerful, a God in control of all our times and situations, definitely an omniscient God, but how come He doesn't seem to be like an idol in our lives?

The Bible says that idols are evil and we should not have idols in out lives, but what if we made Jesus our idol? You have to understand the context of this, of course; I do not mean an idol that you put on a shelf and adore every day, that you bow down to and worship - I mean it in the way of an idol that you treasure, and want to be like in every aspect. You know girls nowadays idolise Korean superstars? They pick their favourite one and start assimilating themselves into being the very being of that Korean superstar. Their whole life revolves around the star; they eat what she eats, talk like how she talks and acts like how she acts. The hobbies of the superstar become the hobbies of the idolater.

What if Jesus became our Korean superstar? It might seem disturbing - and even sacrilegious! - that I compare Jesus to a Korean superstar; But if you think of how people treat the superstars, its the stars themselves that get treated more like Jesus than Jesus Himself. Think about it. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, the ultimate portrayal of humility, pure and righteous in every way. What if He become more than just a Saviour to us, what if He became our treasure? Jesus was the very one that said, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

And yet we wonder why our hearts are not consumed by Him - maybe we have the wrong treasures in our jars of clay?
