Bible Question:
Scripture ... Rev 4:10, 5:14, 7:11, 9:20, 11:16, 14:7, 15:4, 19:4, 19:10 ... When everyone else bows in worship, will those who have been mistaught about the Lordship of Christ have an excuse? Do we study the worship scenes in Revelation and practice it today? Will our knees bend? Have we cheapen the word worship, Lord, Alamighty, King ... God? Pligrim, I want you to answer, please ... as well as others. Searcher |
Bible Answer: Searcher, If you are implying that if we "cheapen" the name of Jesus Christ by not using the term "LORD", you have missed the point of my original question. I firmly believe and acknowledge that Jesus is LORD of all - even of those who fail to acknowledge Him. Yes, one day "at the name (ie. the public declaration that Jesus as LORD of all) every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil 2:10,11) That was the response of Moses at the bush, Isaiah after he saw the glory of God, and John when he glimpsed heaven. And I am sure it will be the response of all, those who have repented of their sin and accepted Jesus as Saviour and LORD, and even those who have rejected the claims of Jesus Christ to be LORD of all (but for a very different reason - for them it will be too late to repent). I am not seeking to misteach anyone, nor to cheapen the meaning of the word "LORD", but to seek an alternative to a word for those who have little or no comprehension of its true meaning. Maybe the English language has cheapened the meaning of the word "Lord" in such places as the English parliament where the term is used to describe a sometimes questionable group of individuals! In answer to your second question, if one truly understands and begins to comprehend all that Jesus Christ has done for us, we are left with no alternative but to "bow the knee" to Him. The amazing thing is that He then (figuratively speaking) stoops down and lifts us up saying, "You are my brother/sister, come walk with me." What grace! What love to we who in no way deserve this from God. Those who claim the salvation offered by Jesus do well to better understand all that this implies and regularly bow the knee to the LORD Jesus, so that, as the apostle Paul reminds us, we do not become "carnal" Christians, the type John records Jesus as saying He will "spit out."
