Matthew 25:1
Matthew 25:1 ''Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 ''And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!' 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 9 But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 ''Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' 12 But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 13 ''Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
This parable is one of a series of parables and discourses Jesus gave as an answer to a question that the disciples posed to him in:

So, we know that this parable is about the second coming of Jesus. Do you realize that Jesus came once 2000 years ago as a Babe in Bethlehem, but He is coming again? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is coming again? I mean, do you REALLY believe it in your heart? Or are we just playing church? Are we pretending all this or did Jesus really come the first time, did He really die and shed His blood fo ...
