Comment: Mankind by nature seeks to venerate things, hence in ancient times some worshipped phenomena that they could not explain or understand. For any worship to have meaning it must be directed at somebody or something. In the world today, some regard wealth or money as an object of worship. Much as the zeal to worship is commendable, caution must be given as to who and how one worships as to get the blessings of God and eventual salvation by His grace and power. Some others worship what they do not know as our Lord Jesus Christ stated in his encounter with the woman of Samaria as stated in the text for today. True worship is that which makes one to honour and reverence God Almighty, be it at service times or in our day-to-day lives. St. Paul stated: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” – Romans 12:1.
