Christians should worship Jesus because He is worthy of reverence as King and Savior.
Worshiping Jesus is central to the Christian faith because He embodies the essence of God and fulfills the redemptive plan for humanity. As noted in Matthew 2:11, wise men worshipped Him in recognition of His kingly authority and divine nature, presenting gifts and humbly bowing before Him. True worship is an acknowledgment of who Jesus is—Creator, Redeemer, and King—and therefore calls for our reverence and submission. Worship transcends mere acts; it involves the heart and spirit, aligning our lives with the acknowledgment of His sovereignty. Christians worship Jesus not only for His gifts but in recognition of His intrinsic worthiness, as He is the ultimate object of our worship.
