**Jesus Is God: The Foundation of Celestial Church Of Christ Worship and Witness**
Hymn 377:8,Emphasises the son as the fathers equal.
Beloved in Christ, Jesus is not merely a priest, prophet, apostle, or religious leader—He is God incarnate, the eternal Lord from heaven (John 1:1-14; 1 Corinthians 15:47). This profound truth demands our worship, not just on earth but in the celestial realms, where angels and saints bow before Him (Revelation 5:11-14). Our timeless hymns echo this reality, calling us to adore Him as fully divine.
Consider these powerful declarations from our hymnody:
- **Hymn 377:8** – "Glory to the Father on high, and glory to His equal Son." Here, we affirm Jesus' co-equality and co-eternality with the Father—same in essence, majesty, and glory (Philippians 2:6).
- **Hymn 254** – "Jesus, give us Thy power to worship Thee." This plea recognizes His divine authority to empower our adoration.
- **Hymn 62** – "Jesus, I will worship Thee." A direct surrender to the God-Man worthy of our praise.
- **Hymn 4** – "Oh Christ, oh my King, I will worship Thee. Glory!" Proclaiming Him as King eternal stirs our hearts to royal homage.
Understanding Jesus as God is not optional—it's the bedrock of vibrant faith. Refusing to acknowledge this truth, or remaining ignorant of it, breeds a nonchalant attitude among believers. It dulls our zeal, silences bold proclamation, and weakens our witness. Why do so many shy away from declaring Jesus as the *only* Way, Truth, and Life (John 14:6)? Because diluted views of His deity lead to compromised lives. When we grasp His full divinity, we cannot stay silent!
Let this truth ignite you today: Worship Jesus as God with unreserved passion. Preach Him unapologetically. Live as those transformed by the Lord from heaven. All glory to Jesus, our God and King!
