There is no sermon recording for yesterday, but we were able to resume with our series on the Beatitudes.  “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” This one troubles me a lot.  I don’t feel pure in heart, but I long to see God.  What do I do?  Maybe the focus in on learning to see.  If I can look and learn to see what God sees, then maybe I can become a bit more pure in heart.  As I become more pure in heart, then I can see God a little more.  As I gain a clearer vision of God, then I make my heart a bit purer.  Jesus tells us that if we have seen him we have seen the Father.  Maybe we start there.  Can we just cast our vision upon Jesus and follow him and maybe the purity of heart will follow.  At least we get to see God as he incarnated himself as a man.  Maybe all I have to do is just follow.  At a minimum, I just have to do what Jesus says at the end of the sermon.  Be a wise man and put his words into action.
