John 4:19:26
Worshipping God in the Temple in Jerusalem
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 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. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I who speak to you am he.”
John 14:6-7
Jesus is Truth
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
In the days before Jesus, the High Priest was the only one who had access to God...The High Priest would go into the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle or Temple and worship Him...And the High Priest could only do this once a year on the Day of Atonement...Jesus changed all that...We can now worship God anywhere, any time, and at any place...
We have access to our Father through the Messiah...Jesus was resurrected and is now both a Spirit and the Truth...
