The Prayers of Jesus - Session 4 -Praying to a Good God

Insights:
  • Shame would come upon the whole village - not just on the friend - if he offered mere subsistence. (M.M.B. Turner)
  • Friends come through for us despite inconvenience to themselves, and sometimes despite mixed motives for their goodness. How much more can we be confident that God will come through for us. (Joh Nolland)
  • If we do not want what we are asking for enough to be persistent, we do not want it very much.
  • God gives us every "good gift" (Matthew 7:11), but the greatest gift that God can give us is the Spirit (Luke 11:13).
  • People ought not to think of God as unwilling to give: he is always ready to give good gifts to his people. But it is important that they do their part by asking. (Leon Morris)
