How is it possible for us to be both hungry and happy, and what does it have to do with the Gospel?
In a recent episode of the Bible Project Podcast, Tim and Jon discussed a familiar passage in the Gospel of Matthew that drew my attention — mainly because my understanding of it differs slightly from theirs. I want to share with you my perspective on this section of the Beatitudes and explain why it is important to understand that Jesus is not using a metaphor when He says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be satisfied.”
I hope you are served by this episode. If so, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.
