The Satisfying Savior

How I loved my Nanny's homemade fudge, and we only got it at Christmas! You [too] most likely have special delicacies of the Season. Mary sang, "He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty." (Luke 1:53). Her words spoke of a particular hunger: something offering more than temporary satisfaction, outlasting time and space. The psalmist also wrote of such satisfaction: "You will show me the path of Life; in Your Presence is Fullness of joy: in Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore." (Psalm 16:11).  Jesus Himself promised, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied." (Matthew 5:6).  Mary sang with Satisfaction, anticipating God's Satisfaction in her son, The Son.  Perhaps as she stood and wept at The Cross, she realized the Fullness of Joy, her [and mankind's] Complete Satisfaction. Are you hungry? If so, for what do you hunger?  Look to The Cross and know the Satisfying Savior.
