The most importance experience in
this world is the experience of God's presence. This is the best thing that can
happen to anyone. Our Lord Jesus Christ told his followers, "Blessed are
the pure in heart for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8). The pure in heart
or the holy ones are the only ones who are qualified to see God. They are
indeed the lucky ones! In 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 St. Paul outlined a good number
of people who were privileged enough to see the risen Lord: "For I handed
on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died
for our sins in accordance with the scriptures... and that he was raised on the
third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he
appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve... Last of all, as
to one untimely born, he appeared also to me." St. Paul considered himself
lucky to have seen the risen Lord. Child of God, if you start today to live a
holy and pure life, the Lord God will surely appear to you. He will let you
behold his glory while you are still here on earth. And it shall be well with
you in Jesus name - Amen!
