AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR THEY SAHLL BE FILLED (MATT:5:6)
hunger: experiencing hunger, desiring, lacking
thirst: dryness, desire to drink,craving
we have all know at some time what it mean to be hungry or to be thirsty but here the word is speaking of a spiritual hunger, a spiritual thirst, many are hungry, many are thirsty but the water Jesus gives is everlasting, when you feed from the word your soul becomes fulfilled, satisfied
cross reference: come to the water, delight yourself in the fatness of the word, hear him for he will make an everlasting covenant with you even as with David (Isaiah 55:1-4)
refresher: remember how David was hurt by his lifelong friends in Psalm 41? how he decided it was best to seek God & bury himself in the word? by doing do he was blessed more so & his soul was healed through the word
like the deer that panted for the water, let Jesus draw you to the well of everlasting water, feed on his word for Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness
cross reference: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life
