So I went to a birthday lime last night, in which the following was read and discussed in the context of our own interpretations: Luke 18,1-8 Jesus said to his disciples a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart. There was a judge in a certain town, he said, who had neither fear of God nor respect for anyone. In the same town there was also a widow who kept on coming to him and saying, I want justice from you against my enemy! For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, Even though I have neither fear of God nor respect for any human person, I must give this widow her just rights since she keeps pestering me, or she will come and slap me in the face. And the Lord said, You notice what the unjust judge has to say? Now, will not God see justice done to his elect if they keep calling to him day and night even though he still delays to help them? I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily. But when the Son of man comes, will he find any faith on earth? My thought: Once there are those that toil on behalf of others, those that fight for justice and freedom, those that work toward a world that can be as opposed to a world that is. There is faith to be found on this our planet and I found some last evening.
