This sermon from St. Thomas Evangelical Lutheran Church (LCMS) in Magnolia, Texas, explores Jesus’ words, “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled.” Drawing from Luke 6, Job, and Hebrews 12, it reveals that our Lord knows the pain of loss, poverty, and rejection firsthand.
He was born in a manger, thirsted on the cross, and wept at the tomb—and therefore speaks with authority when He declares that those who mourn, hunger, and suffer for His sake are blessed.
Grounded in Scripture and Lutheran theology, this message offers deep comfort and strength to all who endure hardship, reminding us that Christ directs every trial for our good in this life and eternal life to come.
