Crystal Clear
When we buy bottled water in the grocery store it is advertised as crystal clear spring water, meaning it is “pure” water, free of any contaminants. We now know there is no such thing as “pure” water we can buy from the store. It contains micro plastics that we cannot see with the naked eye.
The truth is only before Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit were things pure. Man was innocent. Animals did not eat each other for survival. The environment was “green.”
Since the day they made that awful choice the world has become more and more contaminated. Morally we see how contaminated the world is by sin. What God has declared wrong; man has declared right. Physically we see how contaminated the world is. Seventy years ago, we may have known one person suffering from cancer. Today we all know multiple people suffering from it.
Every morning, I go outside at about 7am. I look out over the landscape and thank God for the beautiful view. It’s quiet. I can hear the birds singing. It’s beautiful, but not perfect. I think, one day, in an instant, I will “wake up” and everything will be perfect and “pure.”
Just think. We are so accustomed to living in a contaminated world we have grown used to it. Can you imagine the drastic change we will experience when we enter heaven. Our God is pure. Heaven is perfect. Our bodies won’t grow old. Let your mind dwell on those thoughts.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Matthew 5:8 NIV
