10 mins a day, closer to God.
Jesus speaks here about the coming of true worshippers, those who 'shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.' This phrase emphasizes a shift from traditional, ritualistic worship to a more personal, intimate relationship with God. True worship, according to Jesus, is not confined to places or ceremonies but is rooted in a sincere heart that seeks God authentically. Worshipping 'in spirit' suggests a deep connection that transcends the physical, engaging the soul and allowing one’s spirit to commune directly with God. To worship 'in truth' means to approach God honestly, without pretense, and with a genuine acknowledgment of His nature and holiness. This form of worship draws us closer to God, fostering an intimate bond that is not dependent on outward symbols but on the purity of the heart. Jesus calls for worship that is grounded in love, truth, and a genuine desire to honor God’s presence. It is an invitation to a deeper, more fulfilling experience of God.
