Text: Matthew 5:1-8
This message concerning the sixth beatitude is of vital importance. Writers have called this verse “the most comprehensive of all the beatitudes” and “one of the greatest utterances in all the Bible.” The reason this has such significance is that Jesus immediately addresses what is most important. We often get distracted by all the external happenings in our lives, both good and bad, but Jesus shows us emphatically that God is looking at the heart. He desires and requires that we must be pure in heart, but this is impossible with man. We invite you to listen today and invite the Great Physician to examine your heart so that He might bring the cleansing and healing that He alone can bring.
