Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst For Righteousness

Summary

The sermon discusses Jesus's fourth Beatitude, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." It uses the analogy of a plant's need for water to illustrate how loss of appetite signals dying. This spiritual hunger, implanted by God as referenced in Ecclesiastes 3:11, is a universal human experience driving the search for fulfillment. The practical takeaway is that true satisfaction is found not in worldly pursuits but in righteousness.
