Second Lesson: “In Spirit and Truth:” or, the True Worshippers
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
There must be harmony between God and His worshippers; such as God is, must His worship be.
This worship in the spirit must come from God himself. God is Spirit; He alone has Spirit to give.
With Christ in the School of Prayer; Thoughts on Our Training for the Ministry of Intercession Second Lesson: “In Spirit and Truth:” or, the True Worshippers
This is the reason why Jesus here uses the name of Father. We never find one of the Old Testament saints personally appropriate the name of child or call God his Father.
And in truth.
And in truth.
That does not only mean in sincerity.
Nor does it only signify, in accordance with the truth of God’s Word.
The expression is one of deep and Divine meaning.
Jesus is “the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
“The law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
Jesus says, “I am the truth and the life.”
In the Old Testament all was shadow and promise;
Jesus brought and gives the reality, the substance, of things hoped for.
In Him the blessings and powers of the eternal life are our actual possession and experience.
Jesus is full of grace and truth;
the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth;
Through Him the grace that is in Jesus is ours in deed and truth, a positive communication out of the Divine life.
And so worship in spirit is worship in truth; actual living fellowship with God a real correspondence and harmony between the Father, who is a Spirit, and the child praying in the spirit.
What Jesus said to the woman of Samaria, she could not at once understand. Pentecost was needed to reveal its full meaning. We
“LORD TEACH US TO PRAY.”
I adore the love with which taught a woman, who had refused Him a cup of water, what the worship of God must be.
I rejoice in the assurance that He will no less now instruct his disciple today, who comes to Him with a heart that longs to pray in spirit and in truth.
