Eating healthy is a big deal in the South Bay. We are obsessed with health, fitness and clean eating. This also means we have a good understanding of what junk food does to our bodies. It is a relatively simple formula - eating healthy = being physically healthy (another formula is - eating unhealthy = being physically unhealthy). God knows we understand eating (historically - not just in modern South Bay!). That is why eating metaphors are used throughout the Bible. In The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us to hunger and thirst for righteousness - have a healthy spiritual diet. And if we do, we will be satisfied. This is profound in a world that tries to find satisfaction in life through an unhealthy spiritual diet. And are left unsatisfied.
This Sunday we will continue in The Beatitudes discovering what healthy Christians look like. Let’s join together to grow closer to Jesus in community!
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” - Matthew 5:6
