Is Jesus God – Part III - The Worship of Jesus


  We have seen how Jesus is proven to be God through His names and His works. Now we are going to see how He is shown to be God through the worship He received.

  The Bible clearly tells us that we are to worship only God.

Luke 4:8 – “And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

  We can see through the Gospels, however, that many people worshiped Jesus, and He never stopped them from doing so.

  At His birth, wise men came and worshiped Jesus.

Matthew 2:2 – “Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.”

  His disciples worshiped Him.

Matthew 14:33 – “Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.”

  A man healed from blindness by Him worshiped Him.

John 9:38 – “And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.”

  Then we see God the Father Himself commanding all the angels to worship Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 1:6 – “And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.”

  It is very clear that since Scripture commands us that we are to only worship God, that Jesus accepted worship, and that the Father commanded His Worship, He must be God.
