Jesus: Our Worship Leader
Ron Man
Calvin Symposium on Worship 2009
A pastor cannot lead us into God's presence. Nor can a worship leader, or a Christian artist, or a song, or singing. Not even worship can lead us into God's presence. Only Jesus can, through the power of the Holy Spirit. This seminar explored the wonderful truth that when we gather, our living Lord is present and active in our midst—empowering, perfecting and leading our worship. Behind all true worship, regardless of its form or style, is the present mediating ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Proclamation and Praise: Hebrews 2:12 and the Christology of Worship
by Ron Man (Wipf & Stock, 2007)
An important missing element in today's raging worship debates is a proper acknowledgment of the continuing ministry of the living Christ in mediating and leading our worship. In Hebrews 2:12 we find an amazingly succinct yet powerful description of the two-way mediating ministry of Christ: he continues to be the agent of God's revelation to us and also serves as the leader and facilitator of our response back to God in worship.
