“Worship is the Central Theme of the Bible”
The Apostle John has been in a perpetual state of amazement from Revelation
Chapter one onward.
What he has seen has repeatedly overwhelmed him.
Once again, in this final chapter Revelation 22, John sees such incredible sights
that all he can do is fall down (the last time he tried to worship the angelic
guide was in 19:10).
As he tries to worship the messenger that has guided
his tour of Heaven, (that is the context of v. 9), John is corrected by the
angel.
In this exchange, we get an incredible insight that:
“Worship is the Central Theme of the Bible”
Here we get to the final chapter of the final book, where we see the final
word on worship, given to us by God.
Here, God instructs us on the most important of all subjects:
Worship. A simple definition of worship would be:
Worship is honor and adoration directed to God.
The angel repeats to John the centrality of the worship of God. Listen to what
the angel says to John:
Revelation 22:9
“Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of
thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book:
“WORSHIP GOD.”
There is no subject more important to God’s servants than WORSHIP.
Worship of God is the mark of true believers.
The worship of God is declared to be the content of the eternal Gospel.
True worship of the true God is truly the key to everything that matters.
Worship is no small subject. In this final word from God on worship, we hear declared
the centrality of worship. The importance of worship we can infer from the rest of
God’s Word, but here in Revelation, God makes it clear how central worship is to
everything.
“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
