Stewardship Soundbite: Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” You only hunger and thirst for what you
don’t have. Jesus has come to fill us up with righteousness – His own righteousness.
He is the self-giving Lord whose sacrifice inspires us to be givers, too.
