BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS
MATTHEW 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
A man that hungers after righteousness is tired of and never interested in the garbage of worldliness. He needs Christ or nothing. A “Christ-less” soul is a restless soul. Nothing but the living water can quench this thirst – John 4:13-15 – Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.
Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water”.
A spiritual hunger and thirst is majorly of the heart, it goes beyond our lips. This is a heart-cry to God – Phil 3:7-14. This heart craves for the complete satisfaction which comes from God alone, because the earthly pleasures cannot fill such a heart.Matthew 5:6, Psalm 63:1-11, Psalm 42:1-11. The study for today is on the teaching of Christ, where HE emphasized on the need for man to have the kind of heart that God has.
The scripture says that such people are Blessed – Matthew 5:6, Matthew 6:33 – But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Today, God is calling us to return to him – Jer 2:11-13, Isaiah 55:3 – Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David.
