Idol of Jesus Christ

I made an idol of Jesus Christ with my hands. Exodus 20:4-5
King James Version
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Yeah but check out Numbers chapter 21 where God actually commands Moses to break that commandment.

No, in Numbers chapter 21, God commands Moses to erect a snake image on a pole as a remedy for venomous snakes sent to attack the Israelites.

Here's some more information about the story in Numbers chapter 21:

The story shows how the Israelites forgot how God liberated them from Egyptian slavery and God's call for them to be a holy nation.

In response to the Israelites' mutiny, God sends venomous snakes to attack them.

Moses prays to God on behalf of Israel, and God tells him to erect a bronze image of a snake on a pole. Not to worship it, but in order to be healed.

The Israelites then looked at the snake and were healed.
