The Heart of Worship (Matthew 4:1-11)
Manage episode 454010963 series 3450434
Fyodor Dostoevsky said, "So long as man remains free, he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find something or someone to worship."
The reason that we have this need to worship is because God has put that desire in our hearts. We've been implanted with that need, passion and longing to worship someone or something because that someone or something is to be God Himself. That was God's plan from the very beginning. So the question is, "What or whom do we worship?" Worship can be defined as "an act of completely giving over one's interest, desires, and admiration to some other person or thing." The word actually comes from the Old English word, "worthship," which means to ascribe worth or value to a person or thing. In fact, in the Bible, this word "worship" is mentioned over 160 times and words related to worship, like bowing down or giving thanks or raising your hands, all these things are mentioned more than 600 times in the Scriptures.
