Description
Person A never attends worship. He can’t see the point. Person B attends every week out of a slavish
sense of obligation. Her mind wanders during the services, for she views the activities of worship merely
as tasks for her to complete. Who is worse off? Rather than debating the point, let us just admit neither
understand the true worth of worship. And that is exactly what Satan wants.
Many think worship is about what we do for God. It is the other way around. As we gather around Word
and sacrament, the Spirit moves us to love and trust in God above all things. Moved by the cross of
Christ, we bow down before our God. We commune with him. And that’s exactly what God wants.
