As we go through our normal everyday life, is the physical and finite realm all that we perceive as the reality around us. If so, we tend to live a one-dimensional existence. In the Christian life, everything physical opens to us a window through which we can the more true reality that Christ has bowed heaven to earth in order to reveal Himself and His Kingdom to us. Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." The true part of the human being that perceives the Kingdom of God is not the eyes, but the soul. Today we discuss the cleansing of the windows of the soul that we might grow in the wonder and experience of Christ and His Kingdom.
