THE BEST FORM OF WORSHIP IS OBEDIENCE

Matthew 2:11 - "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."

Matthew 8:2 - "And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean."

Matthew 9:18 - "While He spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped Him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay Thy hand upon her, and she shall live."

Matthew 14:33 - "Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Of a truth Thou art the Son of God."

Matthew 15:25 - "Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me."

Matthew 28:9 - "And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held Him by the feet, and worshipped Him."

Matthew 28:17 - "And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted."

Mark 5:6-7 - "But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped Him, And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of the most high God? I adjure Thee by God, that Thou torment me not."

Luke 24:52 - "And they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy."

John 9:38 - "And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him."

Revelation 5:14 - "And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever."

Jesus knew that only God was to receive man's worship.  In Matthew 4:10 reads:  "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve."  This verse teaches us two things:  1)  Jesus accepted the worship of mankind because He was, in fact, God; and 2) as God, He deserves to be served and obeyed!
