Sermon Short for October 27th, 2019

Clean up our act

Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Matthew 5:8, Matthew 5:43-48

Our next beatitude is “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”

C.S. Lewis said, “It is safe to tell the pure in heart they will see God for only the pure in heart want to.”

Pure in heart may mean we have to be perfect in every way. That’s what God’s commandments are calling us to be – perfect, right? But I rather think pure has a closer connection to thoughts and motives rather than actions and lifestyles. Sure, the latter emerges from the former, but Jesus was always more concerned with our hearts than our hands.

“The pure in heart will indeed see God reflected
in everything they say and do.”
