Continuing our series through the beatitudes, Kingdom Come, Pastor Caleb takes a look at two interrelated promises from Jesus. He tells his disciples that the merciful will find mercy and that the pure in heart will see God. Walking through the biblical witness, we find that God sees us long before we can see Him, and from His compassion flows mercy that clears the eyes of our heart to begin to witness the glory of His work in us and around us. Far from a one-time experience, we find that in faith we step into a state of salvation, where we depend daily on the mercies of God and are shaped more and more into sharers of the life we receive with Him. As we see God in the depths of our need, so we will show God where others look deeply for His rescue.
