When the Lord Jesus uttered his tremendous speech about
Sermon on the Mount who is the sermon par excellence he did it on a summit but sitting in the company of the people
Beautiful demonstration of his true mission to raise human beings to their very stature and give them rest in their company. The most beautiful part of the Sermon on the Mountains are the nine Beatitudes.
These beatitudes synthesize the whole of the spiritual life who fulfills them who lives it is on the path that overcomes all obstacles and reaches heaven itself and need not know more or do more
Take for example only one of them which says: Blessed are the pure in heart because they will see God
Matthew 5: 8
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
(RV1960)
Having a clean heart is the greatest virtue that a human being can have because a heart clean of sin is a heart that does not hate does not hate does not greed does not hold rancor does not slander is a heart that loves that forgives that tolerates that forgives that excuses that look for the good of all, will it be possible to have a heart like this, is it born with such a heart?
In no way, no, my friend is not born with such a heart but it is possible to have it. Who can give such a clean heart? only the same Lord Jesus Christ who demands a clean heart also provides it we must humble ourselves and surrender and ask for it from him with all the sincerity of our lives
Only God can create a clean heart, and he effectively creates clean hearts by blotting out our sin. There is nothing and nobody who can do this wonderful work in our lives, only our lord has the power and the power to do it.
Jesus calls blessed the one who lives true and complete happiness to those who have a clean heart because they have washed in the precious blood of the lamb
And a clean heart my friend and my friend does not mean a perfect heart if it means a heart forgiven by the mercy of God And although not perfect always inclined to do the will of God what a teacher and what wisdom that of Jesus what opportunity and what excellence the one that offers us! Don't you think you don't think it suits us too? let us go to the Lord let us give our heart full of darkness and cry out to him for a new heart
