Beatitudes Living In The Light Of Jesus Christ | Meditations On The Love Of Jesus Christ
To hunger and thirst for righteousness means to have a deep longing for a world where justice, fairness, and goodness prevail. It is a passionate pursuit of living in a way that aligns with principles of truth, honesty, and compassion. It’s about seeking to make a positive impact, not just in our own lives, but also in the lives of others.
Jesus taught us to champion justice, love, and mercy. Jesus encouraged us to challenge injustice and to actively engage in acts of compassion. Jesus demonstrated that true fulfilment comes from living a life rooted in righteousness and fighting for what is right.
When we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we are driven to seek wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We eagerly pursue opportunities to make a difference and to contribute to a more just and compassionate society. Our hunger is not a passive longing but an active pursuit of a better world.
The promise in this Beatitude is that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. When our hearts are set on what is right, we find a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment. Our lives are enriched as we align ourselves with the values of fairness, compassion, and integrity.
This hunger for righteousness is met with abundant provision. We are filled with a sense of purpose and joy as we see the impact of our efforts to make the world a better place. The fulfilment we experience is not just personal but also extends to those around us, as we become agents of positive change.
‘Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.’ (Matthew 11:29, KJV)
