Jesus shows us a BETTER way to pray:
To always pray and never get discouraged and never give up.
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
....
7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
(The Parable of the Widow and the Judge)
May we always talk to God constantly and regularly.
May we not get discouraged about listening and learning from God's responses and answers to our prayers. Especially when the response is silence.
Jesus shows us a BETTER humility.
Jesus is the greatest (King. Saviour. Lord) who humbled himself to the lowest position (Poor. Human. Baby.) Jesus shows us how greatness should not be idolized and low positions should not be looked down on as useless and unimportant.In Luke 18:14 ----
Jesus says "...For all who make themselves great will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be made great."
(The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector)
In Luke 18:17 ----
Jesus says, "Remember this! Whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it."
(Jesus blesses the little children after the disciples had scolded people from bringing their babies for Jesus to place his hands on them.)
