Parable of the Ten Virgins
Apr 27, 2025 • Joe Schwenk
Matthew 25:1-13 is the Parable of the Ten Virgins. Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to ten virgins waiting for a bridegroom. Five were wise and brought extra oil for their lamps, while five were foolish and did not. When the bridegroom arrived unexpectedly, only the prepared virgins could join the wedding feast. This parable emphasizes the importance of spiritual vigilance and being ready for Christ's return, as the exact time is unknown.
