Should Christians Worship Jesus?
Here are a few scriptures that speak to that issue:
- Matthew 2:2 "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him."
- Matthew 2:11 “They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”
- Matthew 14:33 “Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
- Matthew 28:9 “Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.”
- Matthew 28:17 “When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.”
- Luke 5:8 “When Simon Peter saw this; he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”
- John 5:21-23 "For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him."
- John 9:38 “Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.”
- John 20:28 “Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
- Philippians 2:9-11 “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
- Hebrews 1:6 “And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”
- Revelation 5:12 "In a loud voice they were saying: 'Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"
