For Jesus this story is about a faithful woman who was a widow, one of the most vulnerable people in the first century because she had no means of survival except for by the care of the community. The community was bound by their covenant with God to provide this care.  So, when this widow demands justice she knows she is right to do so. She knows the judge is wrong. And the judge, he knows she’s right too. One of the most deeply rooted expressions of faithfulness to God is the care of the widow, the orphan, the poor, the immigrant, those who were powerless.  Everyone knew that.
