Luke 18:1-8 (Week 47)

Luke 18:1-8 NASB

“Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not become discouraged, 2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect any person. 3 Now there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my opponent.’ 4 For a while he was unwilling; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect any person, 5 yet because this widow is bothering me, I will give her justice; otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.’” 6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge *said; 7 now, will God not bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night, and will He delay long for them? 8 I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”

Would you like to follow Jesus? This is how it begins: 

  • Faith: Matthew 21:32: The taxpayers and sinners believed John, and now they were believing in Jesus. Today, all must believe that Jesus is who John says He was and is, the Son of God and the “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” (John 1:29)
  • Repent: Matthew 4:17: Jesus began preaching, repent, 
  • Confess: Matthew 10: 32: “If you confess me before people, I will confess you before my Father in heaven.”
  • Baptized: Matthew 28:19: You must be baptized. 
  • Continue: Matthew 28:20, Acts 2:42: You must continue in the Apostles teachings.
