4th beatitude • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied.
Who are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness? • The people who hunger and thirst for righteousness are those who: • Love and seek God as their first priority • Strive to do what is just for themselves and others • Do not take advantage of others and cheat • Are inspired to do something for God • Are willing to suffer for a just cause.
Righteousness • Righteousness means always doing what is morally right, just, ethical, honorable and virtuous. • A righteousness believer follows God everyday. • In every decision that he makes or what ever he does he will first ask himself, “What will Jesus do?”
Meaning • In the 4th beatitude, Jesus is teaching us to develop an attitude which is giving God and human beings what is due to them. • He wants them to strive for what is good, what is true, what is right and what is just so that they will be ultimately be satisfied. • Those who strive to do what is only good for their selfish interests will finally end up empty.
Example people • Crisanto Castro – Is a taxi driver that returned P140,000 that was left in his taxi • Rona Mahilum – Saved her siblings from the fire without thinking of the reward

Meaning • Those who suffer or risk their life, property or reputation in working for a good cause such as faith, justice, or some Christian virtues, are promised no les than a place in the Kingdom of God. • Those who learn to suffer and sacrifice for a just cause are the tried and true type of people who gain the reward of life with God. • In this beatitude Christ teaches us to be persecuted not for misdeeds or an evil act but to do this for righteousness
