This week we continue our lessons related to the Beatitudes that Jesus issued.

Again this week the author of our lesson reminds us that each of the Beatitudes rise above the one before it.

Remember last week we discussed Matthew 5:3

Matthew 5:3 describes a person who is meek.

Matthew 5:3

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

We then went onto Matthew 5:4 that described a person that is in a state of mourning.

That is where Matthew 5:6 explains what awaits a meek man who not only mourned over his sins but did something about it.

Matthew 5:6 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
If you are so committed in your search to become a righteousness person that others considered you to be hungry and thirsty for righteousness, you should then be able to describe to them what righteousness is.
The dictionary describes righteous as a person or conduct that is morally right or justifiable; the following list of words is used to describe a righteous person.
I think anyone of us would swell with pride if someone used any of the following words to describe us; good virtuous, upright, upstanding, decent, ethical, principled, moral, high-minded, law-abiding, honest, honorable and reasonable.
Two words found in that list used to describe a righteous person; probably couldn’t be used to describe anyone in this room; saintly or angelic.
When we begin thinking we are righteous people; we have to remember that biblical righteousness is not something we have earned or obtained by our good deeds.
