I tell you that he will swiftly grant them justice. Nevertheless, when
the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? - Luke 18:8
Our passage yesterday ended with a question:
“Will not God grant justice to His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He
delay to help them?” Luke 18:7
Here Jesus gives us the answer: yes!
But that’s not the end of this story. He leaves us with a troubling question: “When
the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
Was this directed at those who in the next verse are described as being: “confident
of their own righteousness and looking down on everyone else”?
Could it, just as easily, be directed at us?
Let’s examine our hearts today. Are there any injustices that we have permitted or
turned a blind eye to? Do we need to repent?
Remember the injustices you prayed about yesterday. If you journal, write them
down or stick them up on your wall. Let’s take on that challenge Jesus gave us and
commit to crying out to God day and night for his Kingdom to Come, and justice to
be done.
