Kuna masomo mengi ambayo yanaweza kujifunza kutokana na kifungu hiki, lakini nataka kuzingatia mada ya ibada, ambayo ndiyo sababu ya kukutana huku. Bwana alikutana na mwanamke huyu pale pale alipokuwa na kumwekea kidole chake kuhusu hitaji kubwa la moyo wake. Alimwonyesha kwamba alikuwa na kiu ya kitu fulani, lakini hakujua hata kilikuwa nini. Alimwonyesha jinsi maisha yake yalivyokuwa tupu alipojaribu kukidhi hamu kubwa moyoni mwake. Alikuwa na utupu ambao waume watano hawakuweza kuujaza. Kuishi katika dhambi hakungeweza kukidhi au kutimiza utupu ambao moyo wake ulihisi. Kwa nini? Aliumbwa ili kumwabudu Muumba wake na kuwa na uhusiano naye.<\/p><p data-start=\"716\" data-end=\"1204\">Wakati mada ya ibada ilipoibuka, Bwana alitaja kwamba Baba anatafuta waabuduo na kwamba kwa kuwa Mungu ni Roho, lazima aabudiwe katika roho na kweli. Mwanamke huyu alikuwa akitafuta maana ya uzima lakini alihitaji kutambua kwamba kiroho alikuwa amekufa. Ni kupitia kukutana na Mungu ambaye ni Roho tu ndipo angeweza kufanywa hai katika roho yake mwenyewe. Kama mwanamke huyu kisimani, roho yetu ilibidi ihuishwe\u2014ifanywe hai\u2014na mara tu inapokuwa hai, tunaweza kumwabudu Mungu katika roho.<\/p><p data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1722\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Tukijaribu kumficha Mungu dhambi zetu, ikiwa hatujaziungama mbele zake, hatutaweza kumwabudu. Hili ndilo jambo ambalo Mfalme Daudi alipitia katika roho yake. Alilielezea kama mifupa yake inazeeka na nguvu zake kugeuzwa kuwa ukame wa kiangazi (Zab. 32:3\u20135). Daudi aliona haiwezekani kuabudu hadi alipokiri dhambi yake (Zab. 51:14\u201317). Hakuweza kumficha Mungu kilichokuwa moyoni mwake. Mungu anataka kweli iliyo ndani (Zab. 51:6). Hii ndiyo maana ya kumwabudu Mungu katika roho na kweli.<\/p><p data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1722\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><strong>Mtangazaji wa Leo:<br \/><\/strong>Baba wa mianga, ambaye mapenzi yake yanatoka kwa neno lako la kweli <br \/>Ulituzaa, na kutufanya wako, Kwa maana unaabudiwa.<\/p><div dir=\"ltr\">Ee, shaurini wote wa Mungu wawapate waabudu wa kweli katika hao <br \/>Ambao hapo awali, wakiwa wametengwa na akili za kimwili, walikuwa maadui zako na wa Yesu!<\/div><div dir=\"ltr\">~ R.
