I forgot what comedian did that. 150 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.160 It was pretty funny. Yeah, all right, well, hey we 151 00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:07.720 are in. 152 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.079 I think it was Jerry Seinfeld. 153 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.040 Was it Jerry Seinfeld? 154 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.720 Because he also talked about the Bill, and they say 155 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.399 they bring it in the book, and he goes, what's 156 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.040 the what's what the book? He goes, it is this 157 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.279 the story of the Bill. 158 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.120 Yes, so I don't know talking about the book. 159 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.160 No, No, it's a built in transition speaking of hunger. 160 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.000 Speaking of hunger. There you go, yeah, hungry, Yeah, that's right. 161 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.279 Yeah, so this this whole beatitude being based on hunger 162 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:33.800 and thirst. 163 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.120 That's right. So here's the verse, and it's in Matthew 164 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.240 chapter five. This is the longest message Jesus preaches in 165 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.560 the Bible. And he starts off with these eight or 166 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.120 nine things that he says, God blesses people like this, 167 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:52.600 or God blesses attitudes or appetites like this, and then 168 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:54.920 the rest of the book or the rest of this 169 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.199 message seems to have highlighted elements that point back to 170 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.519 these ideas. So that's kind of how we're tying these together. 171 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.079 But today we're just gonna only talk about the topic. 172 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.199 And the first one here, or this one today is 173 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.240 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for 174 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:15.480 they will be satisfied. King James says, God blesses those 175 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.079 who hunger and thirst for righteousness, right, for they will 176 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:18.560 be filled. 177 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:19.040 Yeah. 178 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.399 In fact, even in the bottle study here it says 179 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.920 justice asterisk righteousness. 180 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.040 Yeah. Yeah, mine does too. 181 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.439 Yeah, so yeah, so blessed are those? And I like 182 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:32.679 the word righteousness better for a translation, don't you. 183 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:36.759 Yeah. Well, I think justice doesn't encompass all of righteousness, 184 00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.200 but righteousness encompasses justice, right, Yeah, yeah, so I think 185 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.039 righteousness is more complete word. But it's not. It's not 186 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.600 wrong to say hunger and thirst for justice, right right. 187 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.440 Justice would be right living and right results, and righteousness 188 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.799 is right rere living and right right results. So it's similar. 189 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.120 It's just the way you and I think about it. 190 00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.159 From an English language standpoint, justice is different from righteousness. 191 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.080 Yeah, and justice seems like it applies only to some things. Yeah, 192 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.440 and righteous where injustice is you know, exists. 193 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.360 Right where it's sort of unrighteousness. 194 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.000 Yeah, I guess so, I guess so. But but for me, 195 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.480 righteousness feels like it encompasses. 196 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:19.240 It's all encompassing every. 197 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:19.600 Area of life. 198 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.840 It's encompasses all the good things. 199 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.200 Like does every area of our life have to have justice? 200 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:29.120 Surely if you think hard enough, you can come up 201 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.480 with something that doesn't. Or justice isn't the right. 202 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.519 Word, but it's it's an appropriate translation. I just like 203 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:40.159 the righteousness. Yeah, he's more encompassing. But so this idea, though, 204 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.679 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for righteousness or 205 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.559 for justice, for they will be satisfied. It's a really 206 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.320 significant statement. 207 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.240 Yeah, yeah, I think that The first thing that stands 208 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.840 out is that Jesus says he's going to bless those 209 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:02.879 who desire for not perf affecting of right. Right, So, like, 210 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:04.759 you know, so in other words, like he's not saying 211 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.519 he's gonna bless those who are righteous. Hey, if you're righteous, 212 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.559 you're gonna get blessed. He didn't say that, right, So 213 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.360 for all the people who strive to be righteous, who 214 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.559 are you know, imperfect, which is all of us. We 215 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.960 all fail, we all make mistakes, you know, but if 216 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.559 we have a desire to turn you know, that's by 217 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.799 the way, that sort of reminds me of that word repent, right, right, 218 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:27.960 you know, it's it's and even confess. 219 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:28.720 Right. 220 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.879 So when you when you can, when you repent, you 221 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.639 turn from and when you confess, you you agree with God. 222 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.320 That's what it means. And it's just both of those 223 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.879 things are an indicator that says I'm gonna stop going 224 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.879 this way, and I'm gonna I'm gonna go this way, right, 225 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.759 I'm gonna change my thinking. That's more confess, like I agree, 226 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.080 But then repent is more action based, where you're just like, I. 227 00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:52.559 Want to go this way. 228 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.600 And it doesn't mean you're you're going to be successful, 229 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.320 you know, in every area of your life, or you're 230 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.759 gonna be righteous in every area. It means you want 231 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.240 to be righteous, you desire for the for God's righteousness. 232 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.759 And so it's important to know because you know, for 233 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.840 those of us who are discouraged, you know, I mean, 234 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.399 you know there's probably plenty of people who you know, 235 00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:13.960 they're kicking themselves, especially. 236 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:14.240 Around the New year. 237 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:15.960 Yeah, you know, they're like I just want to. 238 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.759 Be a better Christian. I want to have a deeper faith. 239 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.000 I want to have a stronger faith, and you know 240 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:25.039 twenty twenty six, let me do it well, Jesus says, Hey, 241 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:28.919 you know you're blessed because you desire those things, not 242 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:29.919 because you've arrived. 243 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.559 Yeah, you know, I think and you mentioned this rate 244 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:37.679 before we came on the recording here, But the idea 245 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.639 of hunger and thirst are you can't live without being satisfied, 246 00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.080 having your hunger satisfied. You can't live long term without 247 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.080 having your thirst satisfied. These are and it's interesting that 248 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.200 this is what he says is if you hunger for 249 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:57.039 righteousness and justice, you'll be satisfied. If you thirst for 250 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.960 hunger for righteousness and justice, you'll be satisfy. The only 251 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:06.440 thing that satisfies my hunger is food. The only thing 252 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:11.159 that satisfies my thirst is water or liquid. 253 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:11.879 Yeah. 254 00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:16.039 So if my hunger is for righteousness, the only thing 255 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.279 that's going to satisfy me is righteousness. Yeah right. Yeah. 256 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:27.279 So on one side, the more I'm hungry for God's 257 00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.720 right living, because that's what righteousness means, God's right living, 258 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.240 the more I hunger for it, the more he'll help 259 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.759 me also, the more I hunger for it. Have you 260 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:45.399 ever have you ever had a time where you were 261 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:50.639 so depleted. I can't remember baseball practice. One time we 262 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.080 were doing two a days in the summer and it 263 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:56.279 was like ninety five degrees outside, superhumid, and you just 264 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:02.679 get so dehydrated. Somebody brought me a Donald's orange drink, 265 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.519 you know, and normally I would like that, and I 266 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.639 couldn't hardly stand it. At the same time, some moms 267 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.320 brought a cooler with some drink boxes, juice boxes, and 268 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:17.120 they had high c in them. Both of them were disgusting. 269 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.720 Now I like them both, right, But in that moment, 270 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.559 I was craving something. So they brought us some water, 271 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.480 and the water was good. That helped. When they brought 272 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:29.240 us gatorade. It was a little salty and had some 273 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.000 of the you know, all the extra stuff that you 274 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.279 lose when you're sweating, and I couldn't get enough of it. Now, 275 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.600 on a normal day, a few drinks at gatorade, I'm fine. 276 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.279 I don't crave gatorade on a normal day, but when 277 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.919 I was so depleted, nothing else would satisfy me until 278 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.840 I could re replenish my electrolytes. I think it's the 279 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:53.000 same way that the more hungry you get for God's 280 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.240 right living, the less anything else will satisfy you. And 281 00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.519 then he says, I'll satisfy you with that, you will 282 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.799 become more along those lines. And then the other side 283 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.799 of this, when I can't live completely, right, I'll be 284 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.480 satisfied because of Jesus righteousness. 285 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.759 Right yeah, and so so yeah, so what you're saying 286 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.919 is is like hunger and thirst are not whimsical metaphors, 287 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.000 right right, Like you know, because he could have. 288 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.080 Described best way to say that, by the way, good job, Chris. 289 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:21.039 Yeah, well you know, it's a he could have said 290 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.279 something like, oh, I'm in the mood to watch this movie, 291 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.320 like that's a desire. But that is that is really whimsical. 292 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:27.080 It's not the same. 293 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.360 It's not the same, right, But hunger cannot be ignored, 294 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.960 right and thirst cannot be ignored because these are life 295 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.519 essential things. And so yeah, that's really good. And then 296 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.399 here's another observation, and that is you could only hunger 297 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.039 when your stomach is empty. 298 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.519 Right, So you're empty when you're empty of a thing. 299 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.200 Yeah, and so think about like and you know, and 300 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.600 the same thing with thirst. You're depleted of water, just 301 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.200 like you said, right, So, in other words, like it's 302 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.320 the sin in our lives that make us hunger for 303 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.039 God's righteousness, it's it's the successes that we thought we're 304 00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:06.759 going to satisfy us, and they don't satisfy and so 305 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.399 therefore we feel depleted, even though we thought we were 306 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.320 going to fill ourselves with satisfaction from success or money 307 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.679 or retirement or whatever it is, achievement, and then all 308 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:17.960 of a sudden we feel empty because of it. You know, 309 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.519 we're empty, and so therefore hunger is going to be 310 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.240 something that is only possible when we are empty of something. 311 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.000 And same thing with thirst. And I think that that's 312 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.519 important to know because it's the sin, it's the brokenness, 313 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.120 it's the you know, failures, it's all those things that 314 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.679 help us realize I need Jesus. Yeah, I need Jesus 315 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.639 more than I thought I did, and. 316 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.679 Nothing else will satisfy that's right, right? Yeah, Oh man, 317 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:47.720 that's powerful. I was thinking about this idea of hunger 318 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:51.519 and thirst. Remember the lady at the well in the 319 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.799 Samaritan Woman. Oh yeah, and Jesus says, if you knew 320 00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.919 so he goes to Jesus. It goes to this lady 321 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.639 and he said, I need to go to Samaria. And 322 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.960 then the disciples leave and it's the middle of the day. 323 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.440 There's a woman getting water at the well and he 324 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.360 asks her for a drink. She's surprised that he's a 325 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.360 Jewish man asking for a drink, and then he says, well, actually, 326 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.000 if you knew who I was, you'd ask me for 327 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.600 a drink because you'd never thirst again. And I think 328 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:24.200 that at the core of humanity, Jesus recognizes there's this 329 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:28.799 thirst that we're trying to quench with everything else in life. 330 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.600 For her, it was she had five husbands, and the 331 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.320 man she's lived with now wasn't her husband, right, It 332 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:39.879 was attention. It was love that she couldn't seem to find. 333 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.039 It was somebody valuing her. Almost well, all of us, 334 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:48.840 all of us have this thing or things that we're pursuing, 335 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.200 thinking that's going to quench our thirst. For some people's shopping. 336 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.480 For some people, it's the next promotion. It's one more 337 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:01.039 zero in the bank account. Right, And Jesus said, if 338 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.440 you just knew, if you just knew who you were 339 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.039 talking to, you'd ask me and you'd never ever thirst again. 340 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.039 Uh you're trying to fill this with something that just 341 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.200 is never going to be able to quench your thirst spiritually. 342 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.480 And then you know he's the He's the solution. And 343 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.839 it's really beautiful because she all of a sudden goes 344 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.200 now at first, she's like, what are you talking about? 345 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.839 Remember, she's really confused, and she's like, wait a minute, 346 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:28.039 are you greater than Jacob who dug the well? 347 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:29.240 Yeah? You guys did that. 348 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.519 Well yeah, oh it's a phenal it's still one of 349 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.000 the greatest wells in all of Israel. Yeah, so it's 350 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:35.799 it's it's a very impressive feat. 351 00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:37.880 Cold water, cold, ice cold, yeah yeah. 352 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:42.599 Yeah from the Mountain caps from Hebert Hebert. What's herm herman, herman, 353 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.720 my herman, Yeah yeah, so uh so yeah, it's it's 354 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:47.960 uh so Yeah.

Then? 358 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:54.319 Then? 359 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:55.440 What comes out of this? Well? 360 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.000 Yeah, well it appeals to me. I I love it 361 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:04.119 because the good winn, the upstanding citizen ladies wouldn't have 362 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.880 been in the heat of the day going to get 363 00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.400 in the water, right, You and I have been in 364 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.200 cultures before where the women go get water every day. Yeah, 365 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:13.599 and they do it just as the sun's coming up, 366 00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:15.640 when the day's still cool. They do it when the 367 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.440 sun has set in the evenings. They don't do it 368 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.000 in the heat of the day one hundred and ten 369 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:22.640 degrees outside. They don't do that. So and then it's 370 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.920 a social gathering. I did a water walk one time. 371 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:27.759 Have you ever done a water walk? I have, Yeah, 372 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.799 And it's kind of a fun thing, right although, so 373 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:33.960 in Kenya with the Pocop people, they'll go down to 374 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.119 a river, the ladies, all the ladies go together, carry 375 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.400 these big buckets, go down, you know, a couple miles 376 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.880 away from the village or whatever. They start digging in 377 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.160 the sand of a dry riverbed and eventually a little 378 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.279 bit of water comes up and they try to you know, 379 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:46.839 they keep scooping it out until they can get the 380 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.319 sand out and then get as clear of water as 381 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.079 they can and then fill their buckets. But there's all 382 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:53.720 kinds of laughter, there's tons of gossip happening, lots of 383 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.279 cutting up, right, all that stuff. It's the cluster of 384 00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.880 where it's the place to be at that time for 385 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.240 all the ladies in the village. Yes, no ladies want 386 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.319 to miss it. But here she's not there with all 387 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.759 these ladies in the morning. She's all by herself in 388 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.200 the middle of the day. And it's probably because and 389 00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:15.240 Jesus calls her out on her reputation. Her reputation is 390 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:17.759 she's not an upstanding citizen like the rest of the good, 391 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:22.319 the good ladies in town. Right, So even just her 392 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.119 getting water in the heat of the day is reminding 393 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.880 her that she's not really who she wants to be, right, 394 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:33.440 that she doesn't have the attention and the affection of 395 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.119 the people in her town. And these towns were small towns, right, 396 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.559 And then she's going from man to man to man 397 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.079 to man trying to get it. Clearly, she has this 398 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:46.079 desire to be known and to be loved, and she 399 00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.079 just can't find it. And Jesus steps up and gets 400 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.559 her right there. He doesn't talk around the edges. He goes, 401 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.000
