Righteousness

 

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled." people seem to skip the "righteousness" part! What is the hunger and thirst for? Righteousness. It isn't for more of God or for more of His presence. The good news is that Jesus already answered this prayer! "They shall be FILLED"! Jesus knew that the ones who were hungering for righteousness were hugely happy; ...

because he was about to go to the cross and FILL their hunger and satisfy their thirst! He looked ahead at the cross and fortold the answer. Essentially Jesus was saying: 

 

"Hey all you that are hungering and thirsting for righteousness, don't worry about it, you guys are gonna be hugely happy because I am gonna take care of that righteousness thing. Don't worry daddy's gonna fill it. It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay."  - *MLT

 

Jesus has made a way for all to be righteous! Not by our own efforts or merits! God forbid!!! Jesus single handedly destroyed and wiped out sin! He didn't just wipe away your sins, he wiped out your sin nature! Now you are the righteousness of God! You are prone to righteousness. Romans 6! You aren't a sinner any more. You are a righteous saint! Believe it and you will manifest it! I agree with Jesus! The none believer that hungers and thirsts for righteousness is blessed! Because they will be filled!

 

"For in Him (Jesus) the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and YOU have been FILLED in Him, who is the head of all rule and authority." - Colossians 2:9-10 *ESV

 

Righteousness is a person and you have been filled with Him! As for the Believer: you don't need to Hunger and Thirst for righteousness anymore! GOOD NEWS: Jesus has filled us!
