We worship together as a community of faith at a local church. This is where we gather together. We don't go to Jerusalem anymore to worship. We now worship God in spirit and in truth wherever it is that we go. In fact, wherever it is that two or three or more are gathered, the Lord is there. God's people in the Old Testament worshipped on their journey to worship. Our lives, even as New Testament people, are the same. We live our lives out, worshiping on our way to our eternal home of worship. We don't go to one physical place now to worship, but on the other side of death, we go to eternity. To forever be in God's presence, to have no distractions anymore, and to worship. Eternity will be fellowship and communion with God perfectly.

We trust and follow all sorts of things daily.  We trust when we play the game Simon Says and Follow the Leader. You trust the leader that what they said is right and you make decisions based on that. How much more obvious is this in our life? We make decisions based on what we trust. 

There is a path to forgiveness. There is a path to restoration with your God. There is a path to being made whole with your Creator to take delight in you and you in Him. It is not the path of living your best life now. It is not the path of living a purpose-driven life. It is not the path of unlocking the best version of you. It is a path that you don't walk on. 

It is a path that was walked on by a Jewish man who was proclaimed as the Son of God 2,000 years ago. It is a path that was walked on from Jerusalem to Calvary. It was on that path that the King of the Universe, the God of creation, the One of whom our music says, crown Him with many crowns. It's that One. He submitted Himself to be crucified for the atoning death of all who place their faith in Him. This Gospel that Paul received is of first importance. He is risen
