The Place of Worship
"Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father." John 4:21
In the Old Testament, geographical and literal
In the New Testament, spiritual and moral

The Perception of Worship
"Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22

The Principle of Worship
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him." John 4:23
Worship in spirit - not ceremonial, contrast Jerusalem
Worship in truth - not counterfeit, contrast this mountain

The Person of Worship
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24

The reign of Death - The Sinner's Condemnation (Rom 5:17)

No Gladness for his hereafter (Ps 53:6)

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8

The Certainty - are ye saved

The Caution - not of yourselves
The Climax - the gift of God

John Ritchie

In Christ, God Himself has entered into and become one with our human suffering.
1. God suffered for man - bearing our human guilt
2. God suffered as man - wearing our human nature
3. God suffered with man - sharing our human sorrow
