It is an expression of earnest entreaty, typically arising from a place of need, distress, or desire for divine intervention. The concept of making a plea is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, illustrating the relationship between humanity and the divine.<br><br><b>Old Testament Pleas</b><br><br>The Old Testament is replete with examples of individuals and communities making pleas to God. These pleas often arise in times of distress, seeking God's mercy, guidance, or deliverance. One of the most poignant examples is found in the Psalms, which frequently capture the raw emotion of the psalmists as they cry out to God. <a href="/psalms/86-6.htm">Psalm 86:6-7</a> states, "Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me."<br><br>The prophets also made pleas on behalf of the people of Israel. In the book of Daniel, Daniel makes a plea for the restoration of Jerusalem, acknowledging the sins of the people and seeking God's mercy. <a href="/daniel/9-18.htm">Daniel 9:18</a> records his words: "Incline Your ear, my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city that bears Your name. For we are not presenting our pleas before You because of our righteous acts, but because of Your great compassion."<br><br><b>New Testament Pleas</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of plea is often associated with prayer and supplication. Jesus Himself made pleas to the Father, most notably in the Garden of Gethsemane. In <a href="/matthew/26-39.htm">Matthew 26:39</a> , Jesus prays, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will." This plea reflects submission to the Father's will, even in the face of immense suffering.<br><br>The Apostle Paul frequently encouraged believers to make their pleas known to God. In <a href="/philippians/4-6.htm">Philippians 4:6</a> , he writes, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." This exhortation underscores the importance of bringing one's needs and desires before God with a heart of gratitude and trust.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The act of making a plea is significant in biblical theology as it demonstrates the believer's dependence on God. It acknowledges human limitations and the need for divine intervention. Pleas are often accompanied by repentance, humility, and faith, recognizing God's sovereignty and mercy.<br><br>In the broader biblical narrative, pleas are not only requests for personal needs but also intercessions for others. This is seen in the prayers of Moses, who pleaded with God on behalf of the Israelites, and in the intercessory role of Christ, who pleads on behalf of humanity before the Father.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For believers today, the biblical examples of pleas serve as a model for prayer life. They encourage Christians to approach God with honesty and vulnerability, trusting in His compassion and power. Pleas are an integral part of a dynamic relationship with God, reflecting both the struggles and hopes of the believer.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (<I>n.</I>) An earnest request or appeal; an answer to a criminal charge; that which is alleged by a party in support of his cause; in a stricter sense, an allegation of fact in a cause, as distinguished from a demurrer; in a still more limited sense, and in modern practice, the defendant's answer to the plaintiff's declaration and demand. That which the plaintiff alleges in his declaration is answered and repelled or justified by the defendant's plea. In chancery practice, a plea is a special answer showing or relying upon one or more things as a cause why the suit should be either dismissed, delayed, or barred. In criminal practice, the plea is the defendant's formal answer to the indictment or information presented against him.<p>2. (<I>n.</I>) A cause in court; a lawsuit; as, the Court of Common Pleas. See under Common.<p>3. (<I>n.</I>) That which is alleged or pleaded, in defense or in justification; an excuse; an apology.<p>4.
