Thirst

Monday, March 2, 2009: Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Background: These are the Beatitudes spoken by Jesus Christ at the Sermon on the Mount.
Are you hungry and thirsty for being right in God’s sight? If you really are, here is Christ Jesus’ promise that you will be satisfied.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009: John 6:35
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
What does coming to Christ Jesus signify? It is symbolic of having faith in Him for salvation.

Wednesday, March 4, 2009: Matthew 25:34–35
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;
Does your entrance into God’s kingdom depend on giving food and drink to a needy soul? The food and drink spoken of here can only be given by those who have that eternal food of salvation found in Jesus Christ alone.

Thursday, March 5, 2009: Proverbs 25:21–22
If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
Have you ever tried this tactic? If not, why not? Try it: you will be surprised by the results!

Friday, March 6, 2009: Revelation 7:16–17
They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Background: This is about the Martyrs of the Tribulation dressed in white robes.
What will make these people so special? They shall be comforted eternally by Jesus Christ Himself.
