Luk 18:6-8 | MHM | STEP | v. 6-7 : Jesus says we should pay attention to what the unjust judge did. If even a bad judge gives in because of persistence, how much more will God, who is just and loving, answer his people when they cry out to him day and night? God’s people, called his “elect,” may face many troubles and enemies, but God cares deeply for them and will help them in his time (Luke 18:6-7 ). We should keep praying, even when answers are delayed.

v. 8: Jesus warns that, even with God’s promises, people may lose hope and stop trusting him. He asks, When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:8 ^b). This means that in the last days, few people will keep real faith and keep praying as they should. Many will doubt or give up because things are hard or God’s answers seem slow. But God’s promise will still stand, even if people find it hard to believe.
