(Lesson 4485)(05-14-24) John 4:20-24
“Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. ”
In today’s quote, the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman shifted to matters of worship. The woman discussed her ancestors' tradition of worshiping on Mount Gerizim, while Jews worship in Jerusalem. Jesus told her that the location of worship would soon be irrelevant, explaining that "the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth." He emphasized that God is a Spirit, and therefore His worshipers must worship in spirit.~
