Blessed Are The Pure In Heart
The BeatitudesSteve Gregg
In this piece, Steve Gregg reflects on the spiritual implications of having a pure heart. The speaker raises questions about how people can truly know and see God, and suggests that a pure heart may be a key to unlocking the divine. Drawing on both Old and New Testament scripture, Gregg emphasizes the importance of a humble and authentic faith, free from hypocrisy and worldly distractions. Ultimately, he suggests that only those with pure hearts will see God, and that this vision may come not just at the second coming of Jesus, but also in the small moments of life where God is present.
