About this listen
The question Jesus asks in Matthew 5:6 is….”Do we possess a craving hunger and thirst for God’s righteous life? The promise? “If we do, we will be filled.”
Main Points:
1. Because of our lack of hunger, it may be difficult for us to understand this particular beatitude. We rarely hunger and thirst after anything, so we miss the urgency of these words.
2. If you and I want righteousness, we can have it. If you want a closer relationship with God, you can have it. Jesus provides the way. If you want to do God’s will, you can. If you want to grow spiritually, you can. You have to hunger for it.
3. How do we maintain a hunger for the righteousness of God? We make knowing God our number one goal in life.
