Matthew 8: 1-4 | King James Audio Bible | KJV | King James Version
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8, KJV)
The pure in heart are those whose inner being is washed clean of sin and impurity. They have undergone a transformation of the heart through the cleansing power of God’s grace. Their motives and intentions are guided by love, truth, and righteousness. Because of their purity of heart, such Christians can perceive and respond to God’s character, His truth, and His ways.
Beatitudes Living In The Light Of Jesus Christ | Meditations On The Love Of Jesus Christ
When our hearts are pure, free from deceit, hypocrisy, and impure motives, we are blessed with the privilege of seeing God’s work in our lives.
To have a pure heart means to seek God wholeheartedly, desiring His presence, and allowing His love to flow through us. It means being transparent and honest in our relationship with God, laying bare our innermost thoughts, fears, and joys before Him.
A pure heart is a heart that has been transformed by God’s grace. As we acknowledge our need for forgiveness and receive His grace, our hearts become vessels for God’s love and goodness.
When our hearts are pure, our vision becomes clear. We are able to recognize God’s hand at work, His love in action, and His guidance in our lives. We see the beauty of His creation, the divine purpose in every circumstance, and the ways in which God is leading us on the path of righteousness.
Jesus, the embodiment of purity, showed us the way to have a pure heart. Jesus’ every thought, word, and action were driven by his deep love for the Father. Jesus invites us to follow his example, to surrender our hearts, and to allow God’s grace to transform us from within.
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10, KJV)

Luke’s Gospel gives us the text of Isaiah read by Jesus, in which Jesus’ announces his messianic mission – to bring the good news to the poor, to live and to identify with the poor, to heal us and set us at liberty from sin. As Jesus closes the book, he omits the following from Isaiah 61: 2: ‘…and the day of vengeance of our God.’ This is deliberate interruption. Jesus is not come to maintain old enmities. Jesus’ way is peace. It is the people of all the world who are to be blessed in Christ [ … ]
When we bear false witness about ourselves, pretending to be faultless or righteous, we deceive not only others but also ourselves. Jesus calls us to be authentic, acknowledging our need for his grace and our dependence on his power to live according to his commandments [ … ]
According to Jewish law, couples became engaged around one year prior to marriage, and this engagement was most solemn and binding – an act of divorce would be needed to break the relationship. It is during this period that Mary is found to be with child of the Holy Ghost. She has done nothing wrong, she is a virgin, Christ’s conception is miraculous, but on the surface of things this was a terrible state of affairs, for Mary and Joseph also [ … ]
