Ke$ha's got Jesus on her necklace

I've heard this song but never paid much attention to the lyrics. Just recently, my ears caught a part of the lyrics from Ke$ha's We R who We R and my heart jumped out of my chest: "Got Jesus on my Necklace -ace -ace." Here are the lyrics and opening of the song that lead up to that line: 


Hot and dangerous
If you're one of us, then roll with us
Cause we make the hipsters fall in love
When we got hot pants on and up

And yes of course we does 
We're running this town just like a club
And no, you don't wanna mess with us
Got Jesus on my necklace-ace-ace-ace


What is happening to Jesus here? He is being treated as an equal with wearing hot pants, being hot and dangerous, and is degraded to a status that is less than holy. 


We're referring to the creator of the universe, the maker of all things, and the creator of all life. This is the God who created Adam and Eve, promised His son through the lineage of Abraham, gave babies to the barren and to a virgin, walked on water, commanded raging seas to be calm, and will bring you and me into eternity with Him when we urgently pursue His relationship. 


What has our culture done to our Jesus? We have desensitized ourselves to His true value. So, what of his value is implied in the lyrics of the above song? What is His true value?


In the above song lyrics, the implication is made that Jesus is simply someone that comes running to the rescue, or even worse, serves only as a body guard. Is that all that we need Jesus for? Jesus is much more than my body guard. Does he protect me? Sure. All the time, every time? Nope. He allows me to make mistakes and suffer consequences, from which He will teach and discipline me. Above His protection, he is my King, my Father, and my know-it-all. 


His value is inexplicable. He is the King of Kings, the ruler of everything on this Earth. He is my Father, intimate and ready with relationship. He is to be declared these things because of WHO He is: omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, merciful, graceful, faithful, glorious. His value does not first exist in what he does, but who he is. 


Jesus, we will love you first for WHO you are, and second for WHAT you do.
