John 4
Pastor Wil Mouer
True Worshipers
In John 4, we find that Jesus sat down at Jacob’s well in Samaria to get a drink after a long journey. A Samaritan woman approached the well to draw some water, and Jesus engaged her in a conversation. In this Christ-encounter, the woman came to an understanding of the “living water” that is only available through Jesus.
During the conversation, Jesus made a statement about true worshipers, “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.” (verse 23)
In this statement, these truths are worth our consideration:
- The time has come for true worshipers to rise up
- True worshipers do so in spirit and truth
- The Father is seeking after true worshipers
Let’s unpack what this means for us. Due to the coming of Christ, we can now worship God at a new level that would not be possible otherwise. Jesus made a way for the Holy Spirit to come into the lives of believers, giving us the opportunity to worship God with our spirit. When we live up to being true worshipers, we are fulfilling God’s ultimate purpose for us.
Live in awareness today that you are a true worshiper!
