2) The way God setup worship for the Israelites symbolizes something – “shadows”
Col 2: 17 ”These are the shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however is found in Christ”

Rev 21:22-2522 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.
Hosea 6:6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings
Psalm 51:16,17
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heartyou, God, will not despise.
Isaiah 1:11I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats
16 Wash and make yourselves clean.Take your evil deeds out of my sight;stop doing wrong.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice.Defend the oppressed.Take up the cause of the fatherless;plead the case of the widow.

“Worship in spirit and truth”Roman 8:1-165 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
Living and worshipping in the Spirit involves the MIND
