The parable of the Ten Virgins teaches us how to prepare wisely to meet the Lord at His Second Coming. The setting of the parable of the Ten Virgins is a wedding , and it is also known as the parable of the Bridesmaids, or the parable of the Bridegroom. Jesus is sharing with his Disciples about the “Future”, the signs of His return & the importance of remaining Faithful as they watch & wait. As we wait for our Lord’s return we must:
1) Awake – Be Alert & aware of the Bridegroom’s return…
2) Arise – We must live In a state of readiness for our Lord’s return…
3) Go Forth – With our Lamps trimmed & burning , the light of the Holy Spirit will dwell within us & bear light to a dark world.
