    I think my favorite beatitude is “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they willl be filled” (Matthew 5:6). 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” So, our righteousness comes from Christ.
