The Word of God thru Parables

The Parable of the Friend at Midnight
aka The Parable of the Friend in Need

Luke 11: 1, 5-10

This parable is a lesson on the subject or prayer. Jesus is illustrating the importance of persistence in prayer. When asked by a disciple one day, "Lord teach us to pray" {Luke 11:1} Jesus answered with this parable depicting a friend asking shamelessly for 3 loaves of bread at midnight when the friend had shut the door and gone to bed. The parable is in Luke 11: 5-8 and explained in Luke 11: 9-10. It is all about the importance of being persistent in prayer. As he says in Luke 11: 9-10 three important words; "Ask, Seek, Knock, and it shall be opened to you."
