people to worship him.” I take “in spirit” to mean that this true worship is carried along by the Holy Spirit and is happening mainly as an inward, spiritual event, not mainly as an outward, bodily event (cf. John 3:6). And I take “in truth” to mean that this true worship is a response to true views of God and is shaped and guided by true views of God. For this and other reasons, I argue that Jesus broke decisively any necessary connection between worship and its outward and localized associations.
