The word ‘worship’ is an Anglo-Saxon word, and means ‘worth-ship’ or ‘worthiness’. The word commonly translated ‘worship’ in the New Testament—though there are several other Greek words—is ‘proskuneo’, to kiss the hand toward. This is thought to be derived from the slave’s manner of homage when he entered the presence of his master. Hence in worship we are expressing, “You are worthy”. |

One of the marvellous truths about the one true God who has been revealed to us through Jesus is this: he is totally and utterly worthy of our worship. He doesn’t just invite or demand it, he is worth it, with a worthiness that will absorb our wondering minds for eternity. Graham Kendrick 'Worship' page 64 Kingsway Publications 1984 |
