The Widow and the Judge
The Widow and the Judge
Students may read Luke 18:1-8
Jesus said we should “pray always and not become discouraged.“ Then, he told a story about a persistent widow and an unjust judge. The widow needed help because someone in the city was being unfair to her. So she went to the judge, but he would not listen to her. He had no respect for God or people. The widow, however, did not give up. She kept coming to him for justice. Finally, the judge said, “I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.”
Discussion Questions
We are advised to pray persistently, but what do we need to understand about God? When we faithfully keep praying, something good will happen. But it might not be what we expect. How does prayer change us on the inside?
