Contrast Between God and Idols
Acts 17:25
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things;


Idols certainly require the care of human hands. There are still shops in the cities of India and China, with this inscription on their sign boards, "Here old gods are repaired and renovated."

(Leonhard.)
