WHEN JESUS ASKS THE QUESTION : But when the Son of Man comes, will He find any faith on the earth? Luke 18:8, preached by Pastor Scott Parmenter.

Will the Son of Man find faith on the earth when He returns? Sounds like a rather ridiculous question as we would believe that He would find faith, right? So, it is good to have some context for this question. This is at the end of a parable concerning prayer that is persistent and by faith. In this parable we will be reminded that God is just and will take care of His people, so no matter the circumstances we need to have faith and keep praying. This type of prayer can be a challenge for us. We live in an instant society, where we expect things to happen within a short span of time. Anything beyond a few days, and we somehow give up on praying. We may come back to it from time to time, but more as an afterthought. Jesus is reminding us in this parable that God will bring an answer in due time, and to not give up for unlike the unjust judge in this parable, God is the exact opposite. For as bad as the judge is, God is just as good, and even more. So, as we examine this question, and look for the answer, the challenge is to see where we are in the story. Listen today and have an open heart to receiving the Word, to not give up on what you are praying for.
