He Accepted Worship As God

​

Matthew 2:11 - On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.

​

Matthew 14:33 - Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

​

Matthew 28:9 - Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.

​

Luke 24:51-53 - While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God.

​

John 9:38 - Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him.

​

The 10 Commandments, which governed the life and worship of God’s people, begin with the declaration of who God is and the commands to worship God alone and no one or nothing but Him (Exodus 20:1-17). To worship anyone or anything other than the One True God was the incredible sin of idolatry that is forbidden throughout the Bible. But, Jesus freely welcomed other people to call Him God and worship Him as God without correcting or rebuking them for being in error. Therefore, Jesus' acceptance of worship also proves that He was/is God.
