We long to see and know God as he truly is. If we are cleansed from our sins by Christ, we will pursue him from a pure heart. We will see him work in this world and see him face to face in heaven.

In the kingdom of God, there is a principle that won’t be violated: he who wants to receive mercy, must be one who shows mercy. This teaching talks about what mercy means and how we navigate showing mercy in our world.

When I realize that nothing in this world can satisfy me, and I understand my sinfulness in light of who God is - I go to God to receive the righteousness that I can’t earn on my own.

Jesus follows the progression of thought in the intro to his sermon on the mount. First, he talks about being poor in spirit and recognizing our own sinfulness. Next, he talks about mourning over that sin and receiving the comfort of forgiveness. In v. 5 Jesus shows that as a result of that recognition and repentance, we now live a life of meekness and confidence - trusting God to be our defender. 

Though the believer in Jesus has now begun to recognize the depth of sin and the hopeless feeling that comes with it, this results in mourning over that sin, which will lead to the comfort of Jesus.

God desires for you to be happy, to live a blessed life. As Jesus begins what is arguably his greatest sermon (Matthew 5-7) he starts by talking about the way to enter into that kingdom life. Jesus tells his followers that the starting point into the kingdom of heaven is to start poor in spirit.

Since we have been offered the unmerited favor of God, we must begin to embrace this new reality. God’s house should be a house where there is a different atmosphere and reality than the world. This is a place where grace is offered and embraced freely.

God’s house is a house of radical generosity. In our world we are taught to seek out pleasure, seek out riches and accumulate things. God’s house is meant to have a different set of values where we work, plan, and save in order to be radically generous in our pursuit of the spread of the Gospel and help for those in need.
