Text: Matthew 5:1-6
All of us know the feelings of being hungry and thirsty because this is part of being human. Jesus, though, uses these very familiar words and feelings to convey a much deeper spiritual truth that we need to ponder and practice in our lives. Much of the stagnation and complacency in the American Church, and in so many of our lives, is because we do not know what it means to hunger and thirst in this way. Jesus’ simple illustration of spiritual hunger and thirst will have a profound impact if we take it to heart and apply it. We invite you to listen today to be encouraged and challenged to consider what you truly hunger and thirst for today.
