There have been an ongoing debate as weather people should worship Jesus Christ or not. For me been a believer, it is not negotiable because the bible helps to open our eyes to who we should worship.
In Matthew 4:10, Jesus Himself said, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” This means the bible is actually commanding us to worship God the father. The name Jesus was not actually mentioned here. It was the father that was mentioned.
But when I read the scriptures, I discovered that even jesus Christ have a special place. Why do I say that. He is the sent one. He is the Son of God sent by God to save us from sin.
Jesus himself was saying it in In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
So this actually create the balance that even though we are to worship the father. We can not do that without not coming through the son. It is through Jesus Christ that we can worship God.
For me. Whenever we honour Jesus Christ, it brings glory to God and God himself did not see it as Competition. It shows unity between the father and the son actually.
So for me. I believe the true worship should actually belongs to God and the father alone. But even with that, we should still honour and worship Jesus Christ because he is our saviour. In fact, without him it will not be possible to get to God. This helps me to create a relationship with God and even Jesus Christ.
