Theme: Followers of Christ must find the ultimate fulfillment of their desires in God alone! We see in verse 21, that those who hunger now are blessed. We are to recognize that following Christ means I will not fulfill every desire I have, and I need to war against the desires that go against Christ. We as Christians need to practice self-denial now in order to pursue God's kingdom (1 Cor. 9:24-27) and seek our fulfillment in God alone. In verse 25, we see a warning against present indulgent living. We need to remember a coming judgment. We need to be people who realize that we are exiles, strangers, and pilgrims who look for a new place whose builder and maker is God.
