The Bible has quite a lot to say about purity. If you were to do a word search on “pure”, you would find that it is often connected to the quality of something; for example, the pure gold of the Temple, or the pure nard used to anoint Jesus. But more often than not, Scripture is most concerned with the quality of one’s heart. In the Beatitudes, Jesus tells us that it is the “pure in heart” who see God. As with this whole series, it is not just our character, however, that we are concerned with. It is also our conduct. May our pure hearts bring about pure actions dedicated to furthering the Kingdom of God.
