To hunger and thirst after righteousness means having a profound and intense desire for God’s presence and His ways. Just as physical hunger and thirst drive us to seek nourishment, spiritual hunger and thirst compel us to seek God earnestly. This longing signifies a deep commitment to living according to God’s standards and pursuing His will in all aspects of life.
Righteousness here refers to living in right relationship with God and others. It encompasses both personal holiness and social justice. Hungering and thirsting for righteousness involves striving for moral integrity, practicing justice, and showing compassion and mercy to others.
Jesus promises that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness "shall be filled." This assurance means that God responds to our deep spiritual desires by satisfying our souls with His presence, grace, and righteousness. As we earnestly seek God, He promises to satisfy our deepest spiritual longings, filling us with His righteousness and presence.
