3.14.12-Bringing Justice

 Luke 18:1-8

The parable of the persistent widow contrasts divine justice with an unjust judge's ruling.  Jesus asked his listeners: If the unjust judge delivered justice under pressure wouldn't God give even more justice to his chosen ones when they pray?  The moral of the story--he is bringing justice, so keep praying.

If you've been mistreated and doubt God's justice, remember that he blends justice with mercy, giving offenders time to repent.  But Jesus promised that God will in the end see that justice is done.  Leave vengeance to God, and in the meantime, ask for faith to wait on his timing.
