Matthew 5:6

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

 

From Background Notes [BN] for October 20^th & 21^st written by Pastor Bob Brown:

 

We need to remind ourselves from time to time that the Beatitudes represent signs of those who are truly Christ's disciples.

 

 

They help identify those upon whom God's blessings rest to aid them in living joyfully. From

another angle, they describe the nature of true happiness. How much different they are from what the secular mind, driven by appearance, does to achieve happiness! The secular mind desires to possess things, power and social standing because it thinks happiness resides in them. God reveals that the ultimate sense of human well-being comes from possessing and cultivating spiritual qualities that derive from a relationship with Him. These are the elusive characteristics that sinful mankind is looking for and cannot find.[BN, 6]
