Hello World - Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…
Questions for Reflection
According to Jesus, the enemy steals, kills, and destroys (John 10). What exactly does the enemy steal? Our life, peace, joy, purpose, faith, purity, love, courage, hope, passion, influence, etc. Anything that will keep us from life with Jesus, and anything that will keep others from the same. You name it. He’ll take it. What has the enemy taken from you?
If we hunger and thirst for righteousness, our response to this enemy should be, “That’s not right! Justice needs to be served! These things need to be returned to their rightful owner.” And Jesus’ good news for us, “Those who hunger and thirst for this rightness, they are blessed, for they will be filled.” Because Jesus came to recover stolen property! Does this give you hope? How so?
In what ways could my hunger and thirst for righteousness result in others being filled and blessed? How could I begin to close the gap between the world as it is and the world as it should be?
