The Bridegroom Is Coming | Keep Oil in Your Lamp

As children, many of us remember the excitement of waiting for someone we loved. Dressed, ready, watching through the window, counting down the minutes until they arrived. But do we have that same anticipation for the return of Jesus? In this episode of Round Table Conversations with Yolimar, we explore Jesus' parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins in Matthew 25 and what it means to "keep oil in your lamp" while we wait for the Bridegroom's return. Together, we'll walk through the powerful teachings of Matthew 24 and 25, including the Wise and Foolish Virgins, the Faithful and Unfaithful Servants, and the Sheep and the Goats. We'll discuss what true readiness looks like, why these parables bring both comfort and warning, and how we can live each day with faithful expectation rather than fear. Keeping oil in our lamps isn't about predicting when Jesus will return. It's about remaining connected to Him through faith, surrender, obedience, and intimacy. It's about living in such a way that if Christ returned today, our hearts would already be turned toward Him. This episode is both an encouragement and an invitation: stay ready, stay faithful, and keep your eyes fixed on the Bridegroom. Because the One we are waiting for is worth waiting for.
