The Persistent Widow

Pastor Scott Brenner Luke 18:1-8
[18:1] Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,
[18:2] saying: "There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.
[18:3] "Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, 'Get justice for me from my adversary.'
[18:4] "And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I do not fear God nor regard man,
[18:5] 'yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.'"
[18:6] Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said.
[18:7] "And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
[18:8] "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"
