Luk 6:21 | MHM | STEP | v. 21 : Jesus continued, Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled (Luke 6:21 ). His disciples often went hungry, sometimes because they were busy serving others or had little food. But Jesus promised that in God’s kingdom, their hunger would be satisfied. They would never hunger or thirst again. He also said, Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh (Luke 6:21 ). The disciples often cried—sometimes because they were sorry for their sins, or because they cared about others’ pain. But their sadness would not last forever. God would turn their tears into joy. As the psalm says, Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy (Psalm 126:5–6 ). God would fill their mouths with laughter and their lips with rejoicing (Job 8:21 ).
