Matthew 5:8 NIV, Jesus speaking: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”
Jesus is continuing “The Beatitudes,” part of his Sermon on the Mount. He’s stating a theological truth, that those who do their best to live up to God’s value system and believe in Him will get to see heaven from the inside. It’s a promise of eternal hope!
Oftentimes mankind erects a mental wall between this life and the next. When someone dies, we hold a funeral and think that their life is over. It is not! We are eternal beings! Jesus promises that there is life after this life! He has gone ahead to prepare a place for you and me. As a person moves from this reality to the next, there is no break in the action from God’s perspective; we just move from one reality to another, but your spirit, your soul, is the same. And when it’s your time, Jesus will welcome you home with open arms!
Do you long for your heavenly home?
