THURSDAY- 27th
WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –A
Gospel: Luke 11:5-13: Ask, and it will be given to you.
I Reading: Galatians 3:1-5: Was it because you practised the Law
that you received the Spirit, or because you believed what was preached to you?
The Great Subject of
Prayer, Lk 11:5-13
This passage deals with the great
subject of prayer. So we need to study time and again and learn how to pray
without ceasing in life.
1. Man’s part in prayer (v.5-10)
a. The illustration: man is to
persevere and endure in prayer
b. The point: perseverance and
endurance receive what is requested
c. The exhortation
1)
ask- shall be given
2)
seek- shall find
3)
knock- shall be opened
d. The answer assured
2. God’s part in prayer (v.11-13)
a. The illust.: God is not evil,
but He is good-He is just like a father
b. The point: God is most willing
to give- especially the Holy Spirit to dwell with man’s heart and life
Thought: Jesus Himself prayed to the Father always and asked His
power and strength to continue His works and to do the Will of God.
Prayer makes us closer to God and helps us to love people with
forgiveness and enables us to take up all kinds of responsibilities; even gives
us lots of strength and courage to undergo sufferings or persecutions in life.
