What About Sarah? Genesis 18; 1 Peter 3 December 7, 2022 Emmanuel Baptist Church. Speaker: Pastor Ben Sprenger.

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

The repentant disciple of Jesus recognizes his own spiritual poverty, mourns over it, and meekly submits to the God of heaven and earth. Being empty of any goodness of his own, he begins to develop an appetite for what is truly good and righteous before God above. Thus, he is blessed! He is blessed because he hungers and thirsts for a righteousness that is given him by God. He is blessed because that righteous life is produced in him by Jesus Christ for the glory of God. He is blessed because he is filled with what he hungers.

Are you hungry for righteousness in the sight of God? Surely, if you have repented and believed the Gospel, you are justified by faith in Christ. You are right with God through Jesus' death for your sins and resurrection. Yet, He saved you so you could live a life of righteousness. Do you want that life? Do you crave the life Jesus described in the Sermon on the Mount? Do you desire the life His Spirit-inspired writers described in the New Testament?

Truly, people whose hearts are the good ground spoken of by our Lord in the parable of the sower are the people who hear the word in an honest and good heart, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience. Jesus sees his closest kin as those who "hear the word of God, and do it." (Luke 8:21) Jesus defines discipleship as denying one's self, taking up his cross daily, and following Jesus. "Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." (Luke 11:28)

Are you hungry and thirsty to truly be a disciple of the Son of God?
Are you living with a desire every day to obey Him?
Are you loving His disciples as He did with humility and service?
Are you filled with everything else but righteousness?
If so, is that any fault of the One who calls you to come and dine at His table?

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
