IRRELEVANT WORSHIP

A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father
seeks. John 4:23

There is a marked difference between the Old Testament descriptions of worship and the New Testament descriptions of worship. Old Testament worship required a specific place, a detailed form and prescribed regulations.

God gave Moses instructions for building the tabernacle. Solomon replaced the tabernacle with a permanent temple. *To be acceptable you had to be in the right place, engaging in the right rituals, operated by the right priests, at the right times.*

The New Testament is radically different. With Christ came the New Covenant focusing entirely on internals. *Worship no longer had
to do with special buildings, rituals or priests.*
What was now most important was the heart and life of the worshipper, reconnected to
God through the work of Jesus.

The Samaritans wanted to worship on their mountain, the Jews in Jerusalem. Jesus’ response to the woman of Samaria was that ‘True worshippers will worship the
Father in the Spirit and in truth’ (John 4:23). It’s not about external rituals any more, but a genuine relationship with God that expresses itself in spirit and in truth. Externals are no longer criteria in the New Covenant.

Worship has little to do with
external rituals but everything
to do with internal realities.

What is the focus of your worship – the externals or internals?

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I continuously need your help to sincerely worship you as the new covenant demands in Jesus mighty name....Amen🙏🏼
