Exodus 20: 4-6
4 You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth;
5 you shall not bow down before them or serve them. For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishment for their ancestors’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation;
6 but showing love down to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Deuteronomy 4:15-19
15 Because you saw no form at all on the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire, be strictly on your guard
16 not to act corruptly by fashioning an idol for yourselves to represent any figure, whether it be the form of a man or of a woman,
17 the form of any animal on the earth, the form of any bird that flies in the sky,
18 the form of anything that crawls on the ground, or the form of any fish in the waters under the earth.
19 And when you look up to the heavens and behold the sun or the moon or the stars, the whole heavenly host, do not be led astray into bowing down to them and serving them. These the LORD, your God, has apportioned to all the other nations under the heavens;
I don't think any here are bowing down to the images of Jesus or serving the images. Christians know that Jesus Christ, God the Son rules from Heaven at the right hand of God the Father. He is not within the image.
Colossians 1:15
II. The Preeminence of Christ
His Person and Work
15 He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of all creation.
Jesus Christ, God the Son incarnated in the flesh. The earthly appearance of God the Son goes far beyond what Moses and the Israelites witnessed in the desert. To have an image of Jesus is to keep Him in our thoughts, as we do with all loved ones like parents, grandparents or children. Our photo albums are not idolatry.
Jesus Christ alone is worshiped in the Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament.
