📖 Parables
Hard
In the Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8), the judge grants the widow's request not because he is just, but to get rid of her. How does this parable primarily function to encourage the disciples?
A
By demonstrating that even the most corrupt individuals can eventually be swayed by persistent nagging, implying that believers should use similar tactics in their prayers.
B
By highlighting the importance of social justice and advocating for the rights of marginalized groups within society.
C
By contrasting the unjust judge's reluctance with God's willingness to answer prayer, emphasizing that God, unlike the judge, is inherently just and responsive to those who cry out to Him.
D
By suggesting that believers should only pray for things that are absolutely necessary, avoiding frivolous or selfish requests.
