The Beatitudes Part 4
Matthew 5:6
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Hunger and thirst are powerful drives. Have you ever been desperately thirsty for a drink of water? How about righteousness?
Are you opposed to God’s righteousness and trying to satisfy your spiritual needs through idolatry?
The day is coming when all opponents to God’s righteousness will be gone and the new Jerusalem will be on earth; those who seek it will be satisfied and nourished in fulfilment of all God’s promises.
Should nothing of our efforts stand
No legacy survive
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive

To you who boast tomorrow’s gain
Tell me what is your life
A mist that vanishes at dawn
All glory be to Christ!
Tell me what is your life
A mist that vanishes at dawn
All glory be to Christ!
His will be done
His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread
Praise Him the Lord of love
His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread

Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
All glory be to Christ!
The thirsty without price
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
All glory be to Christ!
When on the day the great I Am
The faithful and the true
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new
The faithful and the true
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new
Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light
And we shall ere his people be
All glory be to Christ!
And be our steadfast light
And we shall ere his people be
All glory be to Christ!
