Where should we worship?

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.” - John 4v19-20

How do we respond when confronted with our sin? As Jesus passed through Samaria He sat at a well at noon for a divine appointment. He sent the disciples into town to get some food, and then He was approached by a prostitute from the city. He asked her for water and she wondered why He, a Jew, would do that. They had no dealings with each other.

Jesus didn’t wait long to get the crux of the matter. He used her situation to bring her sin to light. When He did so she perceived that He was a prophet and tried to change the subject by pointing out that Jews and Samaritans worshipped in different places. She asked Him which one was right. He answered her quickly and got back on topic.

The point for us is to ask ourselves how we respond when God deals with our sin. When the Holy Spirit convicts us will we listen, or change the subject in our own minds? Lets be more like David than the Samaritan woman, and when God deals with our sin lets change our action and attitude instead of changing the subject.
