1 要常常祷告, 不可灰心 Always ought to pray and not lose heart
讲员: 黄子犀长老 Speaker: Sam Huang 翻译: 王贤树弟兄 Interpreter: Xianshu Wang

2 主题经文 耶稣设一个比喻，是要人常常祷告，不可灰心。说， 某城里有一个官，不惧怕神，也不尊重世人。
路加福音 18: 1- 5 耶稣设一个比喻，是要人常常祷告，不可灰心。说， 某城里有一个官，不惧怕神，也不尊重世人。 那城里有个寡妇，常到他那里，说，我有一个对头，求你给我伸冤。 他多日不准。后来心里说，我虽不惧怕神，也不尊重世人。 只因这寡妇烦扰我，我就给她伸冤吧。免得她常来缠磨我。

3 主题经文 主说，你们听这不义之官所说的话。 神的选民，昼夜呼吁他，他纵然为他们忍了多时，岂不终久给他们伸冤吗？
路加福音 18: 6- 8 主说，你们听这不义之官所说的话。 神的选民，昼夜呼吁他，他纵然为他们忍了多时，岂不终久给他们伸冤吗？ 我告诉你们，要快快地给他们伸冤了，然而人子来的时候，遇得见世上有信德吗？

4 Scripture Reading Luke 18: 1- 5
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’”

5 Scripture Reading Luke 18: 6 - 8
Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

9 门徒与寡妇 Disciples vs. the widow
寡妇没有亲友, 门徒却是神所捡选的 (7节) The widow has no supporters; Disciples are His own elect. 寡妇没有应许, 神却应许快快的为他们伸冤 (8 节) The widow has no promises; Jesus said to disciples that God will avenge them speedily. 寡妇和法官之间没有关系, 神却为门徒忍了多时 (7 节) The widow has no relationship with the judge; God bears long with them

10 神与不义的官 God is not the unjust judge
神像父亲一样 God cares like a father not a judge 神的耽延不是拒绝 God ‘s delay is not a denial 神的目的不是为了自己 God’s purpose is not for Himself
