Not the Judge’s Way, but God’s Way
In most of Jesus’ parables, one of the characters would reflect some aspects of God’s goodness.
In today’s parable, however, the judge “who neither feared God nor respected any human being” would have to be seen as the opposite of God.
Consequently, Jesus urges us to avoid the attitude and behaviors of the judge. St. Paul illustrated the way of Jesus when he exhorted Timothy, “Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, and that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” (Second Reading, 2 Timothy 3: 14-15)
