A PURPOSEFUL LIFE; NEW TESTAMENT STORIES

                                        IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY PART XII

I, a Samaritan woman, am living in Sychar in Samaria....  I am still at the well of my town.... Normally I would go there and go home as quickly as possible.... For I always go there in the middle of the day..... It is very hot at that time of the day.... But I try to go there when no one else is around.... However, today there was a Jewish Man.... He began a conversation with me.... We started off talking about water.... But we are now talking about worship.... He has just told me that there will come a day when we will no longer worship in a physical place.... How can that be?... Jews have worshipped in Jerusalem for many, many years.... How can He say that one day it will no longer be important for them to worship in Jerusalem?... It seems that what will matter most is the condition of our hearts."... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that God is looking for people whose hearts are right with Him....

Jesus then explains to the Samaritan woman that true worship is related to the condition of a person's heart and mind before God as we know from John 4:23-24

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

The woman learns from Jesus that it is not important where we worship but how we worship.
