Bible Question: jesus in talking with his disciples decribes the cruel judge. how do you explain what the message is about. |
Bible Answer: Hello, I believe what the Lord was saying in using the cruel Judge is this..... If this cruel judge, who doesn't fear God or have any respect for man, helps this woman, even though for the wrong reasons, how much more will God who Loves his people, hear their cries and bring about justice for them. So don't lose heart, keep praying because God hears the prayers of his elect. It also might be that, in verse 7, Jesus was alluding to Rev. 6:9-11 Also read Luke 11:5-13 Sometimes people will help you just so they don't have to listen to you anymore but God is not like that. God helps us because he Loves us. When we pray, if we don’t get a reply from the Lord right away, don’t just give up and say something like: “ well I guess God doesn’t want to help me”. We are to keep praying. Matthew 7:7-11 Psalm 84:11 Love in Christ bgg |
