Hunger and Thirst

          To soar in our minds the words of this fragment of the sermon on the mount, are taken immediately, the following questions: 1) where is the emphasis:) in the person of whom have appetite (insatiable desire) for Justice, as a compliment, a word of encouragement? b) on its own "justice" as something essential to be sought? c) or promise of plenty, that redound in happiness (bliss) that suffering for Justice? 2) When the promise will be fulfilled: in eternity or at the present time? 3) what is the purpose of such a statement?

           We cannot neglect that such blessedness is proclaimed by the Lord Jesus, in the context of the sermon on the mount, where incisive manner, visceral, shall reveal that his mission would involve the replacement of the law by the grace, that is, that the letter of the law would be replaced by cold your command, by fulfilling its spirit; the religiosity of the solemnities vain would be replaced by the word experience.

            Well understood, therefore, hunger and thirst for Justice have much more to do with the desire to be in full communion with God, free domain of sin-not just of external acts, but also of those who render in the depths. From then on, reflexively, as a consequence, is that these earthly issues - which are not small, is right-shall be considered.

             It is undeniable that the immanent function to any Christian to be "salt of the Earth" and "light of the world" inevitably leads to the practice of Justice already in our days. However, the power of words in the comment has a larger coverage, higher; its true scope addresses the eternity man, rescued from eternal judgment through faith in the replacement power of the cross of Christ.

            On the other hand, the hunger and thirst for justice must be such that in the drive to the intense longing for our identification with the person of Christ. See that the prodigal son while only had hunger, searched the acorns plays to the pigs, but only when he was in starvation was returned to his father.

            Is this: the desire for Justice of God must be a priority, along with the pursuit of his Kingdom [1], so intense and lasting. Man without God, without the applicant's application of the Scriptures, by itself, will never taste of bliss.
