Oct 1, 2018: Worship Evangelizes

Robert E. Webber

Worship as an act of communication evangelizes me. What is being proclaimed to the glory of the Father is Jesus Christ and his work of salvation (see Rev. 4 and 5). As a worshiper I am being carried through the experience of hearing and seeing Christ proclaimed and acted out. And more, I am called upon to act in constant response to the Good News. Therefore, worship is a continuation of the salvation event; it has the effect of changing our lives, of forming us into the new creation, of giving shape to our Christian world view and of determining our patterns of ethical behavior.
