This night, our sermon text can
be found in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter five. This evening, we'll
be considering one verse from our Sermon on the Mount series,
Matthew chapter five, verse six. We do not have a copy of God's
word. You can find this text on page 809 of the Pew Bible. Hear the word of the Lord. Blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
The grass withers and the flower falls, the word of our God endures
forever. Let us pray. Father, help us to see what we
cannot see. Help us to see our poverty. in your infinite bounty
and give to us. In Christ's name, amen. As I reflect upon the last few
months of our family's life, I can truly say that it has been
a great joy to get to know all of you. It's been really fun
over the past few months to look around and see all the people
whom God has brought together to form Cornerstone United Reformed
Church. From Pastor Voss to the elders.
to the deacons and the families and even the children as we just
saw up here. It's been a great joy to get to know all of you.
But as I've gotten to know all of you, there is one thing that
really stands out if you're trying to define Cornerstone. All of
you are hunters. I would not want to be a deer
that lives within 30 miles of this church because I believe
that my life would constantly be in danger. And it's not just
that some of you hunt. I'm pretty sure that most of
the members here are hunters in one way or another, and not
just the men, but the women and the children here too. So it
may be disappointing for you to learn, and some of you have
already learned, that I have actually never gone hunting,
which puts me like a little bit on the outside looking in on
this thing. And even if I wanted to, I would really not know where
to start in becoming a hunter. So maybe I need someone here
to just adopt me as a hunter in training to show me the ropes
of what to do around here. So I have never hunted, but I
do enjoy my good fair share of survival wilderness shows. And
one of my favorite shows in this genre is a History Channel show
called Alone. Alone is a show that puts people
into the test, the ultimate test of human ability and survivability. What Alone does is that it takes
them, it takes 10 contestants and then drops them off in an
intentionally uninhabitable part of the world. No one is there
because it's very difficult to live there. And so what happens
is that the show will take 10 random contestants, well, not
completely random, they're skilled, they know what they're doing,
some of the best, and it drops them off in this place to be
alone. And then each contestant has
to survive with 10 survival items and a camera, most often dropped
around places like the Arctic Circle. And then the show offers
a cash prize for whichever contestant can survive out there the longest.
In so many seasons, it's pretty fascinating to watch. They can
show this battle of wills, of strength. of adaptability as
contestants, as you watch them build shelters, find food, fight
off predators, sickness, isolation, and then eventually the cold
of winter, because they're usually dropped off right before winter
hits, all to be the last one standing and get the title of
Alone Champion. And it's absolutely incredible
to watch, because what you end up watching is people who are
surviving 60, 70, and even 100 days alone in the wilderness.
And each contestant, if you probably could guess, they have their
own different struggles as they're out there alone trying to survive.
But one of the main battles that every contestant faces, in one
way or another, is the battle of hunger. As you watch a season
progress, you'll quickly see that some people who end up on
there can never secure a consistent source of food. And so after
only 15 to 20 days, they have to tap out. Other contestants
can find food, but then even as they find food, once winter
hits, everything becomes scarce. And so sadly, the show can become
something of a starvation game, eventually trying to see which
one can outstar the other person, not knowing who all else is out
there, and be the last one standing. But as the show often demonstrates,
the contestants battle hunger in more areas than just food. Some contestants battle the hunger
for community. One of the most interesting things
that happens every season is that you'll have some man or
woman who's doing remarkably well. They could keep going further,
but they tap out because they are lonely and hungering for
their family. Other contestants can battle
things like the hunger for meaning or significance. As you can expect,
a lot of people put themselves in this environment to prove
something about themselves, that they are strong, that they're
independent, and that they're capable of winning a contest
that's literally known as the Olympics of survival. In season
seven, one contestant was a young woman named Callie. Callie lasted
89 days alone in the Arctic Circle. She did exceptionally well. But
then towards the end as winter came in, she had a hard time
keeping on her weight and then ended up getting frostbite in
her foot. And so when the medics showed up and towards the end
they're doing more med checks to make sure that people are
still healthy, they needed to pull her because she risked doing
lasting damage to her body. But it was an incredibly powerful
scene to watch. You're literally watching someone
who in all intents and purposes is close to starving to death. who still has this insatiable
hunger to keep going and competing to be the alone champion. This
evening, we return once again to the Sermon on the Mount. And
in this sermon, we are given a window into one of the most
important points in the ministry of Jesus. where Jesus sits down
upon a mountain and gathers people to himself and then teaches them
about the coming kingdom of God. And this beginning section of
the Sermon on the Mount is known as the Beatitudes or the Statements
of Blessing. And what Jesus does here is that
he points to different character profiles in the crowd, those
who hunger, those who mourn, those who are poor in spirit.
And he points to different people and he says, if this is you,
you are blessed. And in doing so, one of the things
that Jesus is doing is that he's giving us different snapshots
of the type of people that he is looking for in his kingdom
that's to come. And in our verse this evening,
Jesus proclaims these words, blessed are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness. for they shall be satisfied.
And if we look at this beatitude, this beatitude is built upon
a very important principle about life in this world and the coming
kingdom of God. And the principle is this. If we're honest, both you and
I hunger and thirst for things that are more than just food
and water. You and I are creatures. And
we were created to hunger and thirst for things greater than
ourselves to satisfy our hearts. As St. Augustine proclaimed hundreds
of years ago in writing, he wrote, the human heart is a restless
thing. And in our beatitude, Jesus challenges
us to consider what we are hungering and thirsting for. Because if
we want to be citizens of his coming kingdom of God, we need
to understand what Jesus is showing us when he writes that we ought
to hunger and thirst for righteousness. This evening, we will consider
this beatitude, the statement of blessing in two points. First
this evening, we're gonna see the point of spiritual hunger. And then we will see spiritual
satisfaction. Our first point this evening,
spiritual hunger. To begin, we should probably
start by taking a second to take a closer look at what we mean
by hunger and thirst and what these things communicate. The
images of hunger and thirst communicate, pretty universally, the idea
of longing and need. Whenever we hunger or thirst,
our bodies are telling us that we are lacking something that
we genuinely need, either food or drink. In the survival world,
you'll hear people constantly reference the rule of threes
for survival. That there are these benchmarks
of threes that every person needs. And here's how you can think
about it. In principle, every person only has three minutes
to live. But then each time you take a
breath and inhale oxygen, that three minute timer resets. The
same picture can also be applied to food and to water. Without
water, if all of us were honest, you would only have three days
to live. And yet every drink that you take resets that timer
back to three. Or without food, you and I have
somewhere between 30 to 50 days to live. But then each bite resets
that clock. So hunger and thirst are ways
that our body communicates to us its longings and its desires. So whenever our body has not
had food or drink for a while, or for some teenagers when they
haven't eaten something in 10 minutes, our organs will send
this message up to our brain saying, hey person, go get me
something to eat because I need it. These messages that our body
sends to the brain, these are what we experience as hunger
and thirst. But as we see, we also can use
the language of hunger and thirst to communicate metaphorical needs
and longings. Like we saw in our introduction,
that we as people can hunger and thirst for all sorts of things
other than food and water. If you think about it, there
are some people who are driven by a hunger for a certain level
of financial security in life. Coaches try to instill in their
players a hunger to win. Other people can hunger and thirst
for approval, such as the person who is every five minutes checking
their Instagram or TikTok to see how many likes their post
receives. Other people can hunger and thirst
for things such as peace or clarity or an answer or a remedy to their
problems. I'm curious, can you recognize
any of these hungers or these thirsts in the people around
you? What about in yourself? And so in our passage this evening,
Jesus is making a very bold statement. In essence, Jesus is saying that
if you want to be part of his kingdom, then you must be ready
to submit to him as your king in every area of your life, including
the hungers and the thirsts of your heart. If you are to be
a citizen of the kingdom of heaven, then your desires must align
with the king's desires. Friends, if you claim to be a
Christian, your desires are the King's business. You cannot get
around that. And so according to the Bible,
what does Jesus instruct his people to desire? What does Jesus
hope that we would want in life? If you're looking for a place
to go, we all know the Lord's prayer. Where Jesus teaches us,
your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in
heaven. In other words, Jesus wants the
earth right now to look like heaven. And Jesus wants the righteousness
of heaven to be reflected upon the earth. And so Jesus is looking
for people who share this same concern. People who are hungering
and thirsting for righteousness. I think the Lord's Prayer is
instructive for us here. Because there actually is a good
possibility that you and I can misinterpret Jesus' words in
our text. Because for most of us, when
we think of the word righteousness, our minds automatically go to
the writings of Paul, who writes of righteousness in terms of
salvation, that we are justified or declared righteous through
faith in Jesus and not by works. And so it's really easy for us
to interpret this beatitude as if Jesus is instructing us to
hunger and thirst for righteousness, or hunger and thirst for salvation,
or to be declared righteous. Now I think that sentiment is
theologically true. People should hunger and thirst
for salvation, and to be declared righteous from their sins. But
if you look at this text, that's not exactly Jesus' point here,
nor is it Matthew's. This is a really important Bible
study principle. Biblical words, if you want to
grow in understanding the Bible, biblical words do not always
carry the same meaning and the same nuance every time that they
are used. Just like if you see a word like
righteousness, you just grab your Bible dictionary, find the
first definition, and then just kind of squeeze it into the verse
that you found that word in. No, if you study the different
authors of the New Testament, from people such as Peter, to
James, to John, Paul, and Matthew, you actually will see they sometimes
use words differently. While Peter, James, John, Matthew,
and Paul, they all share the same theology as apostles, we
actually see that that theology sometimes shows up in nuanced
ways within their writings. And so we need to ask the question,
what does Matthew mean by the word righteousness? One commentator
helps us to understand this idea when he writes these words. Protestant
Christians who are used to reading Paul may think that Matthew is
speaking of the imputed righteousness of Christ. but this forensic
sense is not a Matthean nuance. Here in Matthew 5, 6, the emphasis
is on the practical side, the upright lifestyle. So it's important
to see that when Matthew is writing about righteousness in his gospel,
he's actually not talking about the same thing that Paul's talking
about, a legal declaration of righteousness, but rather, When
Matthew uses this word righteousness, he's talking about a life that
aligns with God's will, with God's law. Matthew is talking
about righteous living, that the things on earth reflect the
realities that are true in heaven. Here are some examples of how
this word shows up in the Gospel of Matthew. Early on in the Gospel,
In Matthew 119 we see Matthew praising Joseph, the legal father
of Jesus, because he responds in a just, in a righteous way
into hearing about Mary's pregnancy. Friends, Joseph was no dummy
and he knew how pregnancy worked. And yet while it would have been
very common to shame women who became pregnant out of wedlock,
Matthew writes that Joseph, quote, being a just or a righteous man
and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.
And then later, Joseph believed the angel. who pronounced that
this pregnancy and this birth was of the Lord and not of immorality. Matthew praises Joseph for being
a just or a righteous man. Later in the Sermon on the Mount,
Jesus actually shows us in his preaching that he expects us
to be righteous. And this may be confusing to
us unless we understand that he's expecting us to live in
righteous ways. Matthew 5.20, for I tell you,
unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees,
you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. In Matthew 6.1, Jesus
does not warn us against the pursuit of righteous living.
Rather, he warns us against a performative righteousness, a righteousness
that's merely looking for the approval of the crowds, Matthew
6.1. Beware of practicing your righteousness
before other people in order to be seen by them. For then
you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Now at this point, some of you
may be thinking, wait a minute, doesn't the Bible tell us that
no one is righteous? Doesn't it say that every person
is born in sin Yes, it does. And that is exactly Jesus's point
in this beatitude. Friends, you and I only experience
hunger and thirst when our stomachs are empty. Friends, Jesus is
not proclaiming this beatitude to people who are spiritually
full. Rather, Jesus is preaching this
word to people who are desperately hungry and thirsty for righteousness. Even though Matthew talks about
righteousness in his gospel, he is abundantly clear that the
world needs a savior. That Jesus was born to save his
people from their sins. But friends, if the Bible is
correct about the universal sinfulness of the human race, then isn't
it also true that currently right now in the world, there is a
famine of righteousness? When we look out into the world
today, do we see righteousness around us? No. Now, there may be glimmers of
common grace here and there, but friends, if we're honest,
we look at this world, this country, and this city. Friends, it is
filled with unrighteousness. Just take the holiday season
for a second. You know, when we look around at the culture,
do we see pictures of righteousness? No. How many times do we see
on the commercials messages that promote greed, hedonism, and
immorality? Well, if that's what we see in
the world, then what about righteousness in the church? I bet at this point that most
of us are aware of a new story that broke on a local news channel
this week. A story that revealed to many churches within our own
community, that covered up the abuse of children for decades. Friends, if we take an honest
look at the track record of the church in America today, we are
often not like the triumphant and spirit-filled church of Acts.
Rather, we can look a lot like the book of Judges, where there
is a famine of God's word, and everyone does what is right in
their own eyes. Well, if we don't see righteousness out there in
the church, what about in us? Friend, when you look at your
heart, do you see righteousness? I think one of the difficulties
in our text is the fact that most of us, if not all of us,
have never really experienced genuine hunger and genuine thirst. I think if we're honest, for
me and you, hunger is mostly an inconvenience. For most of
us, we actually don't really need to pray about our daily
bread. Because if we're honest, we have
our weekly and our monthly bread, even if our budget's tight. You
know, personally, if I was brutally honest with myself, what I am
going to eat tomorrow is not really a pressing concern of
mine. Because I know that when I go home that my freezers are
full and I have some food in the fridge. But it's important
to see that this experience of ours is abnormal. especially
in comparison to the time of the Bible. No friends, in the
Bible, food and drink were daily concerns. Friends, when Jesus
taught his disciples to pray, give us this day our daily bread,
that meant something. Friends, for many of us, it takes
watching a reality TV show of people trying to survive in the
wilderness. Or for us visiting another country to see what real
hunger is like. And friends, when we truly see
physical hunger and starvation, we are finally moving in the
right direction of an accurate glimpse of the spiritual state
of our hearts. Friends, there is a famine of
righteousness in the world today, and we're all starving, left
to ourselves. But we will only see the fact
that we're all starving unless we look at the world and our
lives through the lens of Scripture, How often do you and I convince
ourselves that righteousness is not our greatest need? How often do you and I convince
ourselves that something such as temporal comfort is a more
important and a legitimate desire than hungering for righteousness?
Friends, if you're a Christian, I bet you know that righteousness
is important. But in our text, Jesus is calling
us to do more than just think that righteousness is a pretty
good idea. What Jesus is doing in our text,
he's calling us to hunger for righteousness like our lives
depend upon it. Friend, if you're preparing yourself
to be a citizen of the kingdom of God, you need to take an honest
look at your thoughts, your desires, your hungers. and you need to
let scripture reveal your spiritual poverty so that you can wake
up to your spiritual hungers and begin to cultivate in your
heart a hunger for righteousness. In the gospels, one of the things
that often got under the skins of the Pharisees the most was
the fact that Jesus chose to hang out with tax collectors
and sinners. And one of those times in Matthew
12 through 13, Jesus finally puts the Pharisees in their place.
And he does so by leaving with us a very insightful comment
about his ministry philosophy. Matthew 9, 12 through 13, here
Jesus says, those who are well have no need of a physician,
but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means.
I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners." Friends, in other words, Jesus is not looking for
people who think they are righteous. He is looking for people who
will take an honest look at their lives. He will look at where
their sinful hearts want to take them. They will look at their
bitterness, their lust, their covetousness. They're backbiting,
they're judgmentalism, they're hypocrisy, they're religious
formalism, they're coldness of their heart towards their neighbors
and their self-righteousness. And they look at all of this
and they say, yep, I am completely dry in righteousness right now.
There is a famine of righteousness in my life. I am a sinner. And in seeing their lack of righteousness,
they begin to cultivate in their heart a spiritual hunger for
the kingdom of God, where they begin to hunger and thirst for
righteousness. And friends, this path is the steps that it takes
that leads them to salvation and a savior. So what about you? When you look at your heart,
if you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see someone who is so
consumed with fulfilling the hungers found in this life that
they have no time and no place for cultivating a hunger for
the kingdom of God and righteousness? Do you see someone who tolerates
or has become quite too callous to the immorality and the unrighteousness
in the world today? Do you see someone who is trying
really, really hard and failing to convince themselves, you know
what, my righteousness is not so bad. Or do you see someone who is
honest about themselves, their lack of righteousness, and so
that you begin to hunger and a thirst for it. Friends, for
if there is the slightest evidence of spiritual hunger in your heart,
then Jesus tells you this evening that you are blessed. For Jesus
is looking for people just like you for his kingdom. Friend, if you're not a Christian
this evening, maybe this is the first time you've actually felt
in your life spiritual hunger pains. Friend, the world often
bends itself into a pretzel. trying to explain the root of
human misery and suffering in a way that sidesteps this biblical
reality, that you and I are, at our basis, sinners, and that
our biggest problem actually, ultimately, is sin. But as we
see in our text, Jesus is a straight shooter. Friends, spiritual hunger
points to the problem that left to ourselves, you and I are not
righteous. If you're not a Christian, Will you take an honest look
at yourself according to God's word? And then if you're not
a Christian, will you see Jesus? Friends who offers your righteousness
not based upon your effort and works, but one found upon his
perfect life and him going to the cross to bearing the penalty
that your sins deserve so that you may be declared righteous.
Today, if you're not a Christian, will you look to Jesus and find
the righteousness you need? Friend, if you're here and you're
not a Christian, there are many people here today, this evening, who would
love to talk to you after this service. That's our first point, spiritual
hunger. Second point our text will see
this evening is spiritual satisfaction. In 2005, New England Patriots
quarterback Tom Brady shocked the world with some revealing
comments during a 60-minute interview that aired on CBS. At the age
of 27, Brady had conquered the world. He had just completed
one of the most difficult achievements in all of sports, winning three
Super Bowls in four years. Brady had it all, the fame, the
accolades, and the golden ticket to everything that he wanted
in life. And yet, in this interview, Brady
made some really interesting and revealing comments. Why do
I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there's something
greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people
would say, hey man, this is what it is. I reached my goal, my
dream, my life. Me, I think, it's gotta be more
than this. I mean, this can't be what it's
all cracked up to be. I mean, I've done it, I'm 27. And what else is there for me? From the video, you can tell
that the CBS interviewer, Steve Croft, was not expecting Brady's
response. This interviewer, he's supposed
to be talking about all of the good things about the next greatest
quarterback, and this is what he gets. And so Croft asked Tom
a very simple question. Well, what's the answer? Brady
replied, I wish I knew. I wish I knew. In our passage, Matthew 5, 6,
Jesus tells the people gathering around him, blessed are those
who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Friend, in our text, Jesus offers
to his people an amazing promise, because he tells everyone gathering
around him that if you hunger and thirst for righteousness,
you will be satisfied. And I think that this verse does
not hit us as powerfully as it should, because I think it's
so easy for us to overlook how elusive and fleeting lasting
satisfaction actually is. Do you know how hard it is in
the world today to find something that's gonna bring lasting satisfaction? It's basically impossible. I
mean, take Tom Brady. Success, fame, glory, achievements. Did it satisfy? No. Friend, if you look at the world
today, society is not divided between the super happy, satisfied
people at the top who have everything, and then all the miserable have-nots
down here who are looking outside of the party. No, it's actually
quite difficult to find anyone in this world that has what Jesus
offers, true, lasting satisfaction. You will be satisfied. And according to scripture, that
is not surprising at all. In the Old Testament, there was
one man, King Solomon, who put everything to be found in this
world to the test to see if he can find lasting satisfaction.
Friends and ecclesiastes, Solomon pushes every pleasure of this
world to its limits. Sex, money, hard work, knowledge,
wisdom, prudence, everything. And does he assign satisfaction?
Friend, no. Rather, it's the exact opposite.
Because after his relentless search for satisfaction, he reaches
the only logical conclusion based upon his entire search, vanity. It's a breath. It's chasing after
the wind. Friend, hunger and thirst teach
us another important lesson, if you're willing to pay attention
to it. Just imagine for a second that you had the best meal of
your life, whatever that would be. Steak, lobster, filet mignon,
prime rib, whatever it is, just think about it. Imagine yourself
for a second eating it, but don't get too hungry. I think all of us know that meals
like that can taste great in the moment and you can feel so
satisfied. But no matter how good that meal
tasted 12 hours later, you will still be hungry. Friends, every time you eat,
you will be hungry again. Anytime you experience any earthly
pleasure, you will be left desiring again. And friends, every time
this happens, Your body is trying to tell you again and again and
again that everything in it will not ultimately satisfy. Friends,
that is the futility of this life. There are so many people
who spend all their time chasing highs and ecstasies and fulfillments
and satisfactions at whatever the cost. And yet what ends up
happening is they always come crashing down to earth. And yet
in our text, Jesus tells us it is actually possible for you
to be satisfied. And friends, Jesus is not offering
this for an elite or an exclusive club. Jesus is not offering satisfaction
to the rich, the powerful, the smart people of the world. Friends,
he's offering it to anybody and everybody. on the condition that
they cultivate in their heart a hunger and a thirst for righteousness. That leads them to put their
faith in Jesus. Friends, in their own way, each
of these Beatitudes is challenging us to see that the best way for
us to prepare ourselves for the kingdom of God is for us to loosen
our grip on this present world. And friends, what hungering and
thirsting for righteousness does is that it helps to train your
spiritual taste buds to desire the things of God. And then it
also guides you to the golden path that leads to finding satisfaction
in God himself. Friends, spiritual hunger points
us to spiritual satisfaction, not just in living righteously,
but friends, in God himself who is righteousness and goodness
and holiness. In the Gospel of John, Jesus
has a very interesting conversation with a woman coming to a well
to get water. And he tells her in John 4, everyone
who drinks of this water will be thirsty again. Whoever drinks of the water that
I will give him will never be thirsty again. In John 6, 27,
Jesus, as we just read earlier, tells the crowds who witnessed
the miraculous feeding of 5,000, he says, do not work for the
food that perishes. but for the food that endures
to eternal life. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
So what is it? What is a food that people can
have and drink that lasts forever? As we saw earlier in our service,
it is found in believing and receiving Jesus. John 6.35. Jesus said to them, I am the
bread of life. Whoever comes to me shall not
hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. Friends,
this may sound like a bait and switch or that Jesus is trying
to spiritualize our genuine human needs, but don't miss how Jesus
is pointing to a central biblical principle for life. Friends,
you and I were created to not ultimately find satisfaction
in food or drink or anything in this life. Friends, you and
I were created to find satisfaction in God. Finishing the quote from earlier
in our sermon, as St. Augustine said, our hearts are
restless until they find their rest in you. Friends, in the kingdom of God,
God is not offering us whatever we need and everything that will
satisfy our hearts. Rather, he is offering us himself. And because God is offering us
himself in a relationship with the only person who will forever
satisfy our souls, friends, when we get there, we will have everything
in his kingdom. This evening as we come to a
close, friends, you and I are left with an incredibly important
question. What are you hungering for? What are you thirsting for? Friends, you and I have hungers.
You and I have thirsts. You and I have desires. Are you hungering for things
such as pleasure, satisfactions of this life, answers in the
here and now, approval, and all the things that the world tries
to offer to us. Or friends, are you hungering
for righteousness? Do you see the spiritual need
in your life for righteousness, righteousness in your home, righteousness
in your family, and righteousness in the world? Friend, if you
are, and you have in your heart a spiritual hunger for righteousness,
then take comfort. For in his kingdom, Jesus is
looking for people just like you. And friend, hungering and
thirsting for righteousness is a central pathway. to finding
satisfaction, not just in righteousness, abstractly stated, or in righteous
living, but in God himself, who offers the bread of life to us. So friends, may we hunger and
thirst for righteousness, that we may be satisfied forever. Father, we repent and we confess that our hearts are not on you. Father, our hearts aren't everything
that can be found in this world. And when your word holds up to
us a path that leads to life, Father, we can find ourselves
distracted by so many things that seem to be offering us life
and joy and pleasure and significance, but Father, these things are
empty. Father, help our restless hearts
to find our ultimate satisfaction in you. Thank you for the bread
of life, who we, when we believe in Jesus, find everything that
our hearts need. May you do now what only your
spirit and your word can do, confirm these truths to our hearts.
In Christ's precious name we pray, amen.
Blessed Are Those Who Hunger
