Reading for November 16th

 Read Luke 18.1-8. In verse 3: God has a special concern for justice for the widow (Deut 10.18; 24.17; 27.19; Ps 68.5). In verses 4-6: The unjust judge fails in the standards of the law both with regard to fear of God and human respect. In verse 7: God's care for his chosen ones is stated in terms of a traditional Jewish argument from contrast, "so much the more." In verse 8: Perseverance in prayer will be needed until the end when the Son of Man comes (Dan 7.13; Lk 17.24, 30). Comments or Questions..
