Matthew 25:1-2
I awoke one morning to my usual routine. I dispensed my cold cereal into my bowl, poured the milk over it, filled a tall glass of real 100% orange juice and I sat down to have breakfast with Christ.

Amen and amen."
Open if you will to the book of Matthew.
"Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish." (Matthew 25:1-2) NKJ
Did you notice that Jesus is the one talking? If we are going to look deeper into this text we must know that these are the words of Jesus are faithful and true! He can only speak truth. This parable is explaining to us what His Spiritual Kingdom is like. Could it be that He is saying that half the church is foolish and the other half is wise? I want you to understand that Jesus only gives u ...
