Opening Verses In Luke 11
Seeking the Lord’s help, I would direct your thoughts to the passage we read in Luke 11. There are one or two comments I would like to make on the verses that we read. The great burden upon the Saviour’s heart here was to encourage His people in prayer. And, as always, He set the pre-eminent example. “He was praying in a certain place.” It seems to infer that He was praying audibly; publicly.
