Pure Heart | Matthew 5:8
Manage episode 380822591 series 3323860
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matthew 5:8
I really love and appreciate that these beatitudes really line up with each other. It’s a continuation of a theme. Layer upon layer of actions to shape us into the kind of human beings we were meant to be. They type of people we have the potential to be.
The Matthew Henry Commentary called this beatitude the most comprehensive of the beatitude. That’s really true. If you have a pure heart, you will obviously be doing or working towards all the ones before. Meaning you already know who you are and who God is. You already are striving to see things through the lens of how God sees things.
