In this Beatitude, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness," we discuss the transformation that occurs in the one who has come to the posture of poverty, mourning, and meekness and has received the faith of God. First, there is a transformation of appetite. The origin of a transformed life is the life that was sacrificed on our behalf so that we could have a righteousness that we could not obtain. Without indwelling righteousness, practical righteousness is worthless. We must first hunger for the One who can actually provide.
