Deuteronomy 11:18-28

Psalms 55, 138, 139

Hebrews 5:1-10

John 4:1-26

John 4:1-26

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the father seeks. God is spirit and is worshipers must worship in spirit and truth.

John 4: 23-34

We do now worship in spirit as Jesus is no longer on earth, but we do have the gift of the Holy Sprit. Study guides often tell us the “truth” is Christ as He is the true savior. But applying “truth” to my life, I can only worship in truth if I admit the truth about myself. My status in this earthly world, or lack thereof, has no bearing on my worship of God. None of us are worthy but all of us can seek Jesus and His gift of salvation.

While John equates “truth” with Jesus, I wonder how much today we tend to choose which “truths” and commandments we accept and which one’s we ignore.

“Dear Heavenly Father,

pray that I will surrender to your will and

your truth, not mine.”

Amen
