Purified
Matthew 5:8 ESV
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
This verse seems to be addressing the impossible. Which of us can say we have a pure heart? If we think we do, we're lying to ourselves, which is impurity!
Miraculously, our impure hearts can be purified. The blood of Jesus can cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We just need to confess and renounce our sinfulness.
Who can see God and live? He dwells in unapproachable light. Yet Jesus is the image of the invisible God.
In the end, we will see the Lord. If we trust in him, we won't see some disappointed face. We'll see someone beaming with acceptance between his outstretched, nail pierced hands for us.
'Almighty God, we're astounded that one day we will see you face to face. We're grateful that we can be purified. Please do so, in Christ's name, amen'.
