John 4:19-24 But say, tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here (at Mount Gerazim), where our ancestors worshipped?”
Jesus replied, “The time is coming, ma’am when we will no longer be concerned about whether to worship the Father here or in Jerusalem.
For it’s not where we worship that counts, but how we worship – is our worship spiritual and real? Do we have the Holy Spirit’s help?
For God is Spirit, and we must have his help to worship as we should.
The Father wants this kind of worship from us. But you Samaritans know so little about Him, worshiping blindly, while we Jews know all about Him, for salvation comes to the world through the Jews.” Amen
Note: Those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.
