When Jesus Told Stories :: Be Ready, Not Oblivious
from New Hope Bend
In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the parable of the ten virgins to warn us about the danger of looking spiritually ready without actually being ready. All ten were waiting for the bridegroom. All ten had lamps. All ten expected him to come. But when the moment arrived, only five were prepared. In this message, we look at what it means to have a faith that is more than an appearance, why spiritual preparation has to happen before the unexpected moments of life, and why we cannot keep postponing obedience to Jesus. You cannot borrow tomorrow the faith you refuse to build today. The question is not simply, “When is Jesus coming?” The question is, “If He came today, would I be ready?” Get ready for Jesus before the moment to get ready is gone.
