“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,” Jesus said, “for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). “Woe to you who are well fed now,” Jesus said, “for you will go hungry” (Luke 6:25). When Jesus said he came not for the righteous, but for the sinners, he meant he came for everyone. But only those who know they are sick can be healed. Only those who listen to the rumblings in their belly can be filled. Only those who recognize the extent of their wounds and their wounding can be made well.
