In part four of our series Kingdom Come, Pastor Caleb looks at Jesus' fourth beatitude, where he tells his disciples that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. The context of Jesus' words involves a physical hunger, with many in his audience suffering from Roman oppression and the corruption of religious leadership, but the yearning Jesus is speaking to goes far deeper than a growling stomach. The promise of being filled is for those who are starving for God's presence, who need Him to order and to heal and to reconcile and to redeem. To those who bring their deepest hunger to God comes a love eternal and overflowing, one that pours out daily on the desperate and faithful, and through them to a dry and broken world.
