John 4:21 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 4:21

Jesus did not take sides in the debate — He transcended it. The location of worship was about to become irrelevant. A new era was coming.

Memory phrase: True worship is not about a place.

Talk about it: Jesus said the place of worship would stop mattering. Do you think some people still think God is only in certain buildings or places?

Prayer: Father, I worship You wherever I am — not because of a place, but because of who You are.
