Bible Question: What is the significance of "lifting up of hands" in worship? Lifting up of one's hands in worship can be found in Psalm 28:2; 63:4; 119:48; 134:2; Lamentations 2:19; 3:41; and Hebrews 12:12.. Does the "lifting up of hands" have a special meaning? |
Bible Answer: Worship is more than having your hands raised. Consider Romans 12:1 - "Therefore, I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your SPIRITUAL SERVICE of WORSHIP." Paul says here that a true spiritual "worship service" is making your body availible for Christ to live through. This is the only place that I know of in the NT where "worship services" are discussed ;) In Christ, Bill Mc |
