Jesus is the most controversial figure in the history of mankind. We all have a sinful nature that does not allow us to see the wisdom in His teachings. We need to be made new; we need to be given new eyes for answers to those familiar patterns in us that lead us down a path of destruction.
Jesus spent much of His ministry teaching radical new ideas. Ideas that seem downright unbelievable because they are so contrary to what our culture says is the way to live life. On a windy moutainside, Jesus proclaimed what would become known as the Beautitudes - eight pathways of death to our fleshly desires that would bring us the abundant life He promised to this who love Him.
Matthew 5:8 (New Living Translation) - God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
Ladies, a pure heart is a heart that is not haughty. Pride and arrogance will prevent us from seeing God and knowing His will.
