Should we worship Jesus? — MANY are confused about this

Is Jesus to be worshipped? And this is from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. From Texas. I have heard some opinions around me lately saying that though he is our Messiah, that Jesus is not God, that He is separate. They also say that because of this, that we shouldn't worship him, since we should only worship the one true God. Please shed some light and scripture in this regard. Thank you and blessings. Okay, well, you are asking for me to shed some light on scripture. I have good news. I'm gonna just read scripture. I'm gonna let scripture speak for itself. I think Scripture is so sufficiently able to answer this by just reading it. And that's what we're gonna do. All right, so, guys, let's jump in. I'm gonna go. Hebrews 1, verse 2. We read this. But in these last days, he has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. Okay, hold up. Through Whom he also. Also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature. And he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high. Okay, so we're reading a few things about the Son, about Yeshua right now. Through whom he created the world is one of the things. Wait, who is the one who created the world? The Creator? And what is the nature of the Messiah? Well, it says that the exact imprint of God's nature. Okay, let's read on. Colossians 1:15. I mean, we need to go through. We need to, like. We need confirmation on, like, you know, what's. Who is He? It says he is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created. Well, here we get it again. So Jesus created all things in heaven and on earth. It says visible, invisible, Whether thrones, dominions, rulers, authorities. All things were created through him and for Him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I have not known any person on this earth who can say, in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. I. I have never met anyone who I can say of that by him. By him, all things were created. This is not just speaking about any person. I have never met a person on this earth whom I can say of that he is before all things. I can only say these things of Yeshua, the Messiah. That's whom this is speaking of. And this is whom is. This is true of. So Yeshua created all things. He was before all things. And the fullness of God dwells in Yeshua. That's what we just read. Let's read some more, because maybe, maybe you're not yet satisfied. Okay, John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And the Word was God. Of course we're talking about Yeshua, the Messiah, Jesus. So the Word was with God. The Word was God, you say pd, this doesn't make sense to me. It's okay. He's God. You're not. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Here we get the same thing over and over and over, that he is the Creator, and without him was not anything that was made. Okay, let's read Revelation 1:17. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, fear not, I am the first and the last. Hmm. Then he says, and the living one, I died. And behold, I am alive forevermore. And I have the keys and of death and Hades. Okay, we know who this is. The one who died and resurrected. And now he says the statement that I am the first and the last. Now if you know what he is saying, this is a radical statement. I mean, guys, he is quoting Isaiah 44. 6 where it says this same statement. Thus is the Lord, right? Yod heh VAV heh, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I am the first and the last. Besides me, there is no God, he says, who is like me. Let him proclaim it. Let him declare it and set it before me. Since I appointed an ancient people, let them declare what is to come and what will happen. Fear not, nor be afraid. Have I not told you from of old and declared it and you are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? There is no rock. I know not any. So Yeshua, the Messiah in Revelation says, I am the first and the last. We come to where he is quoting this from. It's Isaiah 44, where God says, I am the first and the last. Besides me, there is no God. He is saying, there is no other. This is the whole no one. No one. Just me. Just me. I am the only one true God. And Jesus says, I am the first and the last God says, I am the first and the last. Jesus says of him, it is spoken that he is the Creator, over and over and over again, because this is who he is. And so now we come to the question, should we worship him? Let's go into that. Matthew 14:33. And this is where the disciples saw him calming the storm, something that only God could do. And they do what it says in verse 33. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, truly, you are the Son of God. And notice that Jesus does not reject their worship. John 9:38, blind man is healed. And he says, lord, I believe. And he worshiped him. After Yeshua is resurrected, and Matthew 28:9, it says, behold, Jesus met with them and said greetings. And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. And again, never, never ever does Yeshua reject their worship. Let's look at Luke 24:51. This is not the Ascension. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. Not once are they encouraged to not. And even when he ascends now right leaves into heaven, they still continue this trend of worshiping him. It's also important to note the Greek word that is used for worship in the wilderness. When Jesus is confronted by Satan and he quotes the scripture it says, then Jesus said to him, begone, Satan, for it is written, you, you shall worship proskineo, the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve. This word proscaneo is the same Greek word for worship used whenever the disciples worship Jesus. For example, in Matthew 14:33 it says, and those in the boat prosecneo, they worshipped him, saying, truly, you are the Son of God. Or in Luke 24:52, and they Proskineo worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. No distinction in type of worship is made between when Jesus is worshipped and when Jesus calls us to worship the Father. The disciples worshiped Jesus in the same reverence as God. See, when an angel comes and they fell down in worship to the angel because they saw the angel as divine. The angel said, no, no, no, don't worship me. I am just a messenger. But see, when the Messiah is being worshipped, when Yeshua is being worshipped, he does not tell them, do not worship me. I am but a messenger, I am but an agent. I am just the Messiah. You know I'm not God, don't worship me. No, he is God. He's the Creator. He's worthy of worship and he should be worshiped. Everyone will bow the knee to him. Everyone. Whether you want to today or not, one day you will bow the knee and you will worship Him. Brothers and sisters, I feel it is so important. I'm speaking very directly in this because it is so important that we understand who our Messiah is. Because if we do not know who he is, then nothing really else matters. If we cannot understand his identity and him being worthy of our worship, we are missing something huge. And our relationship with him will be affected. Our relationship with mankind will be affected. It is important for us to know this. So I pray that I. This is my desire, that I would worship him all the days of my life into eternity and for eternity. And I pray for you to have the same. And you would worship him all the days of your life into eternity. For I wish to see you alongside me in the kingdom to come, worshiping Him. You know, there's much more to say on this, on, Is Jesus God? So if you want to learn more about this, you want to dig deeper, go deeper, check out my teaching. It's called, is Jesus God? The glory of Christ revealed in the Scriptures. Is Jesus God? The glory of Christ revealed in the Scriptures. Okay, thank you so much for sending that one in. I appreciate that. We actually received, like many people asking, can I worship Jesus? Should I worship Jesus? Is He God? Who is he many this time? So we had to answer that. Okay, we'll see you guys in the next one. Shalom. Sa.
