A time now here
Jesus said,
"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 his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24.
I have served the Lord in various capacities over the years. I like to think that while I have failed from time to time. I have for the most part served Him in spirit and in truth.
It is a sad state of affairs in the church today that many be it in the pulpit or in the pew are not truly serving God in spirit and in truth.
These people may seem like they are. The quite often serve in various capacities around the church. They attend all the services and show up at midweek events. But they lack a deep relationship with Jesus. They are simply doing the thing they do in Church, simply because they feel it is the thing they are expected to do.
How committed to God someone is, is hard to say. And really it is not our job to say how committed they are. That is between them and God.
What I take away from what Jesus is saying here is we need from time to time ask ourselves how committed am I to the cause of Christ.
We need to ask the question, am I truly worshiping God in Spirit and in Truth?
Please think about it.
