2. The Worship of Christ Is Commanded

The angels are commanded to worship Him. "And again, when He bringeth in the first Begotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him" (Heb_1:6).

Multitudes of the Heavenly host worship Him. The four living ones and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb; many angels round about the throne, the number of whom was ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands, worshiped Him; every creature in Heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and such as are in the sea worshiped Him (see Revelation 5).

When Jesus Christ was born the wise men of the East came and worshiped Him, the infant Babe (see Mat_2:11).

In after years, Jesus Christ said unto His disciples, "Ye call Me Lord and Master, and ye say well: for so I am."

After His resurrection the women came and held Him by His feet and worshiped Him (see Mat_28:9-10).

Surely we all will gladly bow the knee, and worship Him Who liveth forever and ever. We humbly fall at His feet and crown Him "Lord of all."

"All hail the power of Jesus' name,

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown Him Lord of all."
