“I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” – Luke 18:8 (NKJV)
If Jesus were to come to you today, in your situation, will He find faith in you? I know this question might come to you as a surprise, but seriously, will He still find faith in you? I asked this question because, when you study the preceding verses before the one in our opening text (Luke 18:1-7), you will realize that our Lord Jesus Christ was giving the parable of a certain woman who kept on going to meet a judge to get justice for her irrespective of his reluctance. At first, the judge didn’t want to respond to the woman, but after a while, he decided to do something for her so that she could stop disturbing him. Now, our Lord Jesus Christ pointed out that if the unjust judge could finally listen to the lady, what about God?
So He said, “…shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?” (Luke 18:7). Then He said, “I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” – Luke 18:8 (NKJV). When we take a look at this question, it calls to mind the reality that every Christian will have to face, and that is: When Jesus Christ comes, will He find men and women who are still holding on in faith, irrespective of the odds? Seriously, this is a question I believe we must all consider because sometimes, the challenges of life can make you lose patience and become faithless. However, no matter what you face in your life, it is important that you keep holding on in faith. If you can do this, you will definitely come out of that situation victoriously. So, be encouraged to keep holding on in faith and refuse to allow that situation to make you lose your faith. Hallelujah!
