In this sermon from the Matthew series, Tim Miller begins a two-part study of the sixth beatitude: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” from Matthew 5:8. This first message focuses on what it means to “see God,” exploring the awe-inspiring holiness, glory, beauty, and royal presence of the Lord. Through passages from Isaiah, Exodus, Daniel, Hebrews, Revelation, and more, this sermon shows both the danger of sinful people approaching God’s consuming holiness and the incredible hope promised to the pure in heart: access to God’s presence without being struck down. The message closes by pointing to the believer’s longing and future hope of seeing God’s face, dwelling with Him, and worshiping Him forever.
