Is It Right To Worship Jesus As God-Man Forever?
Question: We believe that Jesus will be God-Man forever. During His earthly ministry Jesus accepted worship, and even after His ascension, He's being worshiped, when we worship Jesus don't we worship his humanity as well? Because He still has resurrected and glorified but human body, soul and spirit, when we worship Him as a whole person, don't we worship His humanity as well? Isn't it a sin to worship Human Being In Jesus along with His Deity?
Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!
Yes this is a very deep question to ponder and answer by the Grace of God from the Scripture.
Yes according to the Scripture, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus." (1 Tim 2:5).
It is God who prepared a body for Jesus Christ to dwell on earth, it is His will for Him to be born as a child through a virgin, to live thirty three and half years as a perfect human being, and die as the one and only sinless human-being to die for the sins of the humanity so that they could be acceptably forgiven by Him (Heb 10:5-7).
Though Jesus made a pact with the Father God to be a bond-servant without using His power of diety individually except by the Holy Spirit in the will of God, but during all those times He never ceased to be God within that body of flesh (Php 2:5-8), though he had all the power to come out of the pact made with the Father God in the eternity past by taking decisions individually as He was Himself God and was in the form of God (John 10:17-18), yet for the sake of our salvation He chose to suffer and gain it all at the end victoriously (John 19:30).
We call Jesus as Immanuel which means 'God with us [in human flesh]' as God the Father in heaven has revealed it to all humanity through the Angel of the Lord in a dream to Joseph (Matt 1:20-25).
The reason Jesus accepted worship right from the time of His birth, life, death and after resurrection is because He knew that He was God and had the knowledge within where He came from and also knew where He was going (John 6:38; Luke 2:49; John 8:57-59).
Only those who are born anew can understand that Jesus has never ceased to be God at anytime past, present or future, anyone who is unsaved will only stumble to think that Jesus being a man, how can He make Himself out to be God (John 10:33).
In fact, God cannot lie and does not change Himself to be something that He is not as He is not a man to do it, as He remains unchanging in His holiness (Numbers 23:19,Titus 1:2,Hebrews 6:18). Jesus the Christ was sinless by birth [(i.e.) He had no sin nature within unlike all other human beings who are and were born in this fallen world] and also by the life He lived on earth so that before He could die for all humans He could boldy ask every one then and now, "Who can accuse me of sin" (John 8:46). We human beings are commanded to be holy, because God is holy in His character always and human who are sinful is always in need of it in their lives to connect to God (1 Pet 1:16).
Because in His humanity Jesus had no sin (2 Cor 5:21), did no sin and yet he carried the sins of all of us and died for the sins of all humanity (1 Peter 2:22; John 1:29), He is the one and only worthy human being to be worshiped in His sinless humanity (Rev 5:6-7, 8-14).
When we worship the humanity in Jesus, actually, we are fulfilling God's will of worshipping the true Deity of God in holiness through the pre-ordained revelation of the Diety of God intertwined within the humanity of Christ Jesus, which only those who obey God can be able to understand for the Glory of God (Luke 2:32; Matt 2:11-12; John 14:7, 8, 9, 10; 7:17; Deut 18:15-22; Acts 2:23; 4:28; 3:11-26; 26:22-23; 1 Pet 1:2, 20; John 14:6; 4:23-24; Mark 4:23; Rev 22:16-17, 20). Hallelujah!
So the bottom line is that, it is not a sin to worship the Human Being In Jesus along with His Deity because as we have seen above, it is God's will for the sinless humanity of Jesus Christ to live victoriously by the strength of His Spirit and reveal the same pattern and possibility to all humanity so that they could worship Him and serve Him in holiness acceptably through what He has done for them personally as a God-Man in redeeming them from sin and helping them receive God's salvation in and through Him eternally. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary is not only a substitutional sacrifice for every one who believes, but it is also a empowering one to make them walk on earth just like Him through the power of the Holy Spirit, so that they can continue to serve God acceptably and live pleasing to Him through their faith as long as they live on earth. Hallelujah!
JESUS NOT ONLY DESERVES THE RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPED BY HUMANS AS GOD, BUT HE HAS EARNED IT THROUGH HIS SELFLESS SACRIFICE WHICH HE HAS DONE IN COMING TO EARTH AS ONE AMONG HUMANS AND LIVING A SINLESS GOD PLEASING LIFE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD FOR WHICH HE WAS HONORED BY GOD AND RESURRECTED IN A GLORIOUS BODY TO BECOME IMMORTAL AND TO RECEIVE A NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES AND BECOME KING OF ALL KINGS ETERNALLY!
