The Parable of the Unjust Judge (Lu. 18:1-8) (Part 2)

NOTICE THE NEED OF THE WOMAN.
  • Notice her POSITION.
    • "There was a widow in that city...” (v. 3).
  • Notice her PETITION.  
    • “Give me legal protection...” (v. 3).
  • Notice her PERSISTENCE. 
    • “...she kept coming...” (v. 3)
    • ...she will wear me out (v. 5).     
  • How could the judge not help this poor woman?
    • Her need was genuine.
    • Her request was simple.
  • The widow could easily be you or me today.
    • You have a complex, draining, high-pressure situation that can be alleviated by one decision from our Judge.
      • Our Judge is God.
      • Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?” (Gen. 18:25)
      • What stops you from coming to Him again?
