The fifth line of proof of the absolute Deity of our Lord is found _in the way in which the name of Jesus Christ is coupled with that of God the Father. In numerous passages His name is coupled with the name of God the Father in a way in which it would be impossible to couple the name of any finite being with that of the Deity._ We have time for but a few of the many illustrations that might be given. A striking instance is in the words of our Lord Himself in John 14:23 where we read, +"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and he will come unto him, and make our abode with him."+ Here our Lord Jesus does not hesitate to couple Himself with the Father in such a way as to say "_we_," i.e., _God the Father and I_ will come and make our abode with him. In John 14:1 He says, +"Let not your heart be troubled: Believe in God, believe also in me."+ If Jesus Christ was not God this is shocking blasphemy. There is absolutely no middle ground between admitting the Deity of Jesus Christ and charging Christ with the most daring and appalling blasphemy of which any man in all history was ever guilty. VI. DIVINE WORSHIP TO BE GIVEN TO JESUS CHRIST There is a sixth line of proof of the absolute Deity of our Lord Jesus. Those already given have been decisive, each one of the five has been decisive, but this, if possible, is the most decisive of them all, and that is, that _we are taught in so many words that Jesus Christ should be worshipped as God, both by angels and men_. In numerous places in the gospels we see Jesus Christ accepting without hesitation a worship which good men and angels declined with fear, and which He Himself taught should be rendered only to God (Matt. 28:9; Luke 24:52; Mark 14:33; cf. Acts 10:25, 26; Rev. 22:8, 9, R. V.; Matt. 4:9, 10). A curious and very misleading comment is made in the margin of the American Standard Revision upon the meaning of the word translated "worship" in these passages, and that is that "the Greek word translated worship denotes an act of reverence, _whether paid to a creature_ or to the Creator." Now this is true, but it is utterly misleading; for while this word is used to denote "an act of reverence paid to a creature" _by idolators_, our Lord Jesus Himself distinctly says, using exactly the same Greek word, +"Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve,"+ and on the other hand He says in John 5:23 that +"All men should honour the Son even as they honour the Father."+ And in Rev. 5:8, 9, 12, 13 the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders are represented as falling down before the Lamb and offering worship to Him just as worship is offered to Him that sitteth upon the throne, i.e., God the Father. In Heb. 1:6 we are told in so many words, +"And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, and let all the angels of God worship him."+ One night in the inquiry room in Chicago I
