“28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished (speaks of the last minutes before His Death), that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst (Ps. 69:21).” John 19:28
“21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. (This was fulfilled at the Crucifixion [Mat. 27:48]. It must be remembered that those who did this were not the drunks, the thieves, or the harlots who nailed Christ to a Cross, but, instead, it was the religious leaders of that day. Regrettably, it has not changed from then until now.)” Matthew 27:48

In Christ walking in His ways, we are to be overflowing with food and water for others to be
fed by.
The hunger being met is the walking with love and purpose, knowing the will of God and His path.
The thirst being me is the filling with the Holy Spirit and the joy that flows out to others. Amen

Asking you, what do you mean by receiving thirst and hunger?
Jesus offers satisfaction that lasts forever ((seems to me)), see post #1
i dont understand how some say we should seek some kind of hunger or seek to be thirsty, given what Christ pretty plainly says - partly that's why i started this.
i hear sermons and songs saying, God we're thirsty for you, and God we need a fresh anointing, and God we hunger for you, we need more - and i am like, isn't this total opposite of Bible??
so, could you explain more, what do you mean, how does a Christian receive thirst? maybe by forsaking the Lord, becoming faithless, and rejecting His gift??

I think 2 different things are being conflated here.
There is the completion of ever hungering and thirsting for eternal Life and justification done when we are born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
But there is an ongoing, appropriate hunger we should have to refresh and renew our minds. We need to pick up the Spiritual Manna (the Word) DAILY. We need to ingest and digest (meditate upon) DAILY. We need to pray for others and ourselves CONTINUOUSLY. So it is right to say that hungering and thirsting for those things is good and ongoing.

They came out of the town and made their way toward Him.
Meanwhile His disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
(John 4:30-32)
why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Luke 9:23 - And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
Denial of self is recognizing my moral and spiritual poverty; for I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18). It is knowing and understanding that I am unable to serve God in my own will power, self-will, strength, ability, and power. We see this in the first three "Beatitudes."
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5
Take up his cross is seen in Matthew 5:6; Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
I am filled by God's provisions (GRACE) found in Christ by placing my Faith exclusively in Christ and Him Crucified (Believing who Jesus is, and what Jesus has done). Therefore I receive all the benefits of this "Resurrection Life" by understanding that we have been planted together [Christ and ourselves] in the likeness of His Death [Romans 6:5, Psalm 103:2].
Romans 8:13, Zechariah 4:6 - Without Jesus you can do nothing (John 15:5)!!!!!
Without the knowledge of the Cross for sanctification, you will die (spiritually).
