The popular song, The Heart of Worship, by Michael W. Smith presents a passionate view of the true heart of worship:
John the Baptist made this clear in his testimony when he proclaimed, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! … A man who comes after me has surpassed me …” (John 1:29-30 NIV) Our energy should be spent in presenting Jesus Christ to the world – to our family, our friends, our neighbors, and all those we meet. Too often, in our busy-ness, we miss the focal point of our mission.I’m coming back to the heart of worship; and, it’s all about You. It’s all about You, Jesus.
In John 3:14-15, Jesus himself proclaimed that “the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” We must present Jesus. Too often in the church, other personalities become the focus. We may attach ourselves to a great speaking pastor or a counseling pastor because of the entertainment or because of a need they seem to meet in our life. It’s not about them. It’s not about us. The church is the bride of Christ and he, as the groom, deserves our focus. The world needs a Savior, and we must present to them, Jesus. Jesus said this of himself in John 3:16 (NLT):
For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
