People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 5:8
Blessed [are] the pure in heart. The Jew, under the tuition of
the Pharisees, cared little for the state of the heart, so that outward
forms were duly kept. Jesus, however, demands that the heart, the
affections, the mind, shall be purified, as the fountain from whence
flows the moral and religious life. A pure heart begets a pure life; an
impure heart, a corrupt life.
They shall see God. Not with the natural eye, but the spiritual
vision; by faith. In the pure heart the Lord will dwell and his
presence will be recognized. See John 14:23.
