Always Praying; Always Faithful

Luke 18:1 KJV
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Luke 18:8 KJV
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

The Bible says Jesus taught this parable to teach that men ought always to pray and not to faint. But the context has much to do with His return. When Jesus comes back, faith will be at an all time low:
  • Few will believe He will avenge them of their adversaries
  • Few will be found in prayer and
  • Few will be of a mind to look for His coming

Paul said there is a crown of righteousness awaiting all that love His appearing. It may be this crown is much rarer than some really believe. 


Our Lord has taught us to pray. He has urged us not to faint as we pray. May we be found faithful when he comes.
