However, He is not an object but a Person who receives personal, present-tense worship. J...

Key Scripture: "You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews." - John 4:22 Reflection Jesus made an amazing statement to the Samaritan woman. He told her that although she was a worshiper of God, she did not know the God she worshiped. This proves that it is possible to worship in ignorance.
