Closing the Idol Factory

It is said that all of humankind has deep desires for significance, security and self-worth. As Christians, we know the world will only leave us feeling empty; and most of us would be quick to say that only Jesus can truly fulfill those desires. What if what we consider longings, God would actually call lusts? Jesus, our example, never asked God to fill his cup with significance, security or self-worth. He drank the cup the Father gave him—the cup of suffering and sacrifice.
