Discussion Questions: Luke 18:1-8

  1. How might disciples of Jesus be tempted to lose heart?
  2. What are remedies for a discouraged heart?
  3. Why is a widow a fitting symbol for disciples of Jesus?
  4. Why does Christ compare God to an unrighteous and loveless judge in this parable? How is this judge like God? How is this judge not like God?
  5. The judge was motivated to act by the persistence of the widow because he did not wish to be bothered by her anymore. What “motivates” God to act on behalf of his elect?
  6. What reason do we have to approach God in persistent prayer?
