“Hunger And Thirst” Beatitudes Coloring Page

Jesus began the Sermon on the Mount with what are called “The Beatitudes.” As a whole, The Beatitudes help us understand the nature of God’s kingdom and challenge us to live as kingdom citizens. You can read an article about The Beatitudes on the site. Each of the beatitudes points to some aspect of the kingdom that God’s people should pursue.

The “righteousness” (v. 6) imagined and hoped for by the Jews of Jesus’ day was not a personal righteousness, but a corporate justice that would see Israel’s national vindication before the pagan nations of the world. Such hope assumed worldly and military conquest of her enemies, but Jesus’ kingdom paradigm turns this upside down. Those who are “filled” or satisfied will be those who seek satisfaction through true righteousness and the forgiveness of sins. Kingdom righteousness is a spiritual righteousness, not national vengeance.

This “Hunger and Thirst” Beatitudes Coloring Page will help remind kids that real life is found only in a right relationship with Jesus.
