Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness
from But What Did GOD Say?™ · host Teri Garnett
What did Jesus mean when He said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6)? In this episode, we explore how that hunger and thirst is ultimately for Jesus—the Bread of Life and the Living Water (John 6:35; John 4:14). We also clarify what “righteousness” is: not self-made goodness, but right standing with God that we receive in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). Then we bring it into everyday life—what it looks like to seek God’s Word, choose integrity, forgive, and stop feeding on what leaves us spiritually dry.
