In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shared the Beatitudes—eight revolutionary statements declaring who is truly blessed in God’s Kingdom.
1. Blessed are the Poor in Spirit

2. Blessed are the Pure in Heart
Purity of heart means seeking God with single-minded devotion. Jesus promises that the pure in heart shall see God!
