| Posted 9/14/2003 1:42 PM (GMT -6) |   | We ascribe "worth" to things all the time. What we call "worship" is, I believe, simply being accurate about the "worth" we ascribe to God. God IS life itself, love itself, beauty itself, joy itself, etc... When created beings interact with God accurately, we WORSHIP. Its just the relationship appropriate between God and his creation. Its not an "ego" thing at all. If God were to give us anything OTHERTHAN HIMSELF as the proper goal of creation, he'd be giving us LESS THAN THE BEST. Because of his unsurpassable love for us, he gives us HIMSELF.
And THIS is what the cross is all about.
When we see this accurate and interact with this appropriately, it is WORSHIP. It is our highest calling. It is seeing God, life, love etc... accurately.
