Matthew 5:6 - Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Few of us know what it’s really like to be hungry or thirsty.
In the ancient world it was different. There were many people who were never
far from starvation. For many food was scarce and good drinkable water was a
precious commodity.
Jesus is asking– just how much do you want righteousness? To be right w/ God? To please God? Do you want it as much as a starving
man wants food or man dying of thirst wants a drink? Many don’t know what it’s like to be blessed because they
lack a true hunger to please God.
