Worship in John Gospel
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
