Worship was supposed to take place in Jerusalem. T he God whom we worship is not found in a place but in a message. The gospel offers the opportunity to stand in the only relationship possible with God. We are the receivers, we are the redeemed, we are the reconciled. O ur service.
True worship is in spirit and truth.
This means that worship occurs where the good news of God s activity in history, among the nations, and among us is announced. The good news is for everyone. Jesus leads his disciples into enemy territory. It was necessary. In order to demonstrate that the love of God overcomes every barrier that we would set before our neighbor.
