Ball Players, Proper Prayers, and Friends at Midnight (Luke 11:1-13)

The Jesus of Luke's Gospel continues to throw one curveball after another to the delight of the religious outsider and to the perplexing of the religious insider. In Luke 11:1-13, we again see him toss a pitch over the plate that is unexpected, as he takes up the topic of prayer and how one approaches our infinite, holy, yet gracious and resurrecting God.
