249 - Newness of Life
By Jonathan S. Rose
Luke 18:1-8
1
He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,
2
saying, "There was a judge in a certain city who didn't fear God, and didn't respect man.
3
A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, 'Defend me from my adversary!'
4
He wouldn't for a while, but afterward he said to himself, 'Though I neither fear God, nor respect man,
5
yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
6
The Lord said, "Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
7
Won't God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
8
I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
