Matthew 5:8 - Homilies By J.a. Macdonald
The vision of the pure.
Properly to understand this great subject it is necessary to consider—
I. THAT MAN IS ENDOWED WITH SPIRITUAL SENSES .
1 . The body is the material image of the soul.
2 . We experience spiritual sensation.
II. THAT MORAL PURITY IS THE CONDITION OF THEIR HIGHEST EXERCISE .
1 . To the pure especially God reveals himself in his works.
2 . To the pure exclusively God reveals himself by his Spirit.
3 . Spiritual revelation is often vivid.
4 . We have now the philosophy of religious experience.
III. THAT THE FUTURE OPENS PROSPECTS OF SUPERIOR SENSATION .
1 . In the experiences of the disembodied state.
2 . In the experiences of the resurrection-state.
Be the first to react on this!
