The Just Judge!
And will not God obtain justice for his chosen ones, who cry out day and night to him, also bearing patiently with them?
Luke 18:7
Jesus did not give this parable to say that God was like the unjust judge, but unlike him. God loves to answer our prayers, and He even helps us when we pray. God is on your side when you pray, not against you (as the unjust judge was against the widow).
The Lord Jesus wants to explain that even an unjust judge will give in to repeated requests for justice, how much more will the just and righteous Judge of the world bring about justice for His people who pray persistently, continually. Remember that this just Judge is also a loving and compassionate Father. Of course this does not mean that His people can demand anything they want, whether good for them or not, and get it if they keep on asking. But if they ask for good and right and just things, or anything according to His will they will get it.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
