We’re Not Worthy

“We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!”  That famous line was made popular by Wayne and Garth on Saturday Night Live and then in their own movie “Wayne’s World”. They would fall down at the feet of some movie star or rock star and bow up and down yelling “we’re not worthy”.  They did it because they were in awe that they were in the presence of a star.

As Christians, we will one day do the same thing, but not at the feet of a star. Instead we will fall at the feet of the Son, in awe, with a feeling of not being worthy of being in His presence. It happened to so many people in the Bible when they realized who He was, even the Apostle Peter: “But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, ‘Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.’” - Luke 5:8.

There are times in all of our lives as Christians that we do not feel worthy of being called Christians. But our worth is not found in the things we do, it is found in who we are in Christ. God looks at us and sees His Son and His righteousness and not our own (because we have none). I feel that way sometimes when I get to teach and preach God’s Word. I think to myself, “I am not worthy to be doing this”.  But it’s not about me, it’s about Him.

“‘Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.’” - Revelation 4:11. He is worthy of our praise because He died in our place for our sins. Remember that you are worthy to God, so much so, that He sent His own Son to bear the punishment of your sins on the Cross of Calvary.

Have a great day and God bless.
