The Passage & The Promise : Week 4 - Matthew 5:6
The Passage:
We see Christians hungering for many things: power, authority, success, comfort, happiness – but how many of us hunger and thirst for righteousness?
Unfortunately, this verse describes a profound hunger that cannot be satisfied by a snack…This is a deep longing that will most likely endure and will never be completely satisfied on this side of heaven. We all know what it’s like to be hungry and thirsty, and this verse uses the metaphor of hunger to vividly portray an intense craving.
Those who “hunger and thirst for righteousness” are those who desperately seek to live in accordance with God’s will. Those who long for justice, moral uprightness and a deep, right relationship with God. Like the previous Beatitudes, there is a promise attached to this verse.
The Promise is this- that those who have a passionate desire for righteousness will no longer hunger and thirst but instead, they will be satisfied. God will meet their spiritual needs and fulfill their deep longing for righteousness.
