5. Hunger and Thirst

November 30, 2025 - Matthew 5:1-10

Hunger and Thirst

by Pastor Darin Anderson | The Jesus Way

In between the roots of faith (humility, repentance and surrender) and the fruit of faith (compassion, purity, ministry and endurance) is the central beatitude: to hunger and thirst for righteousness. This is how we grow to become more like Jesus: first we rest and rejoice in the righteousness Jesus has given us; then we prayerfully pursue the righteousness He calls us to. How do you cultivate godly appetites? How do you increasingly set your heart and mind on Jesus and His kingdom? Learn to hunger and thirst for righteousness and Jesus promises: “you will be satisfied.”
