In today's lesson, we use Jesus' parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) as a tool to review the book of Exodus.
The parable of the Ten Bridesmaids is about redemption and reflects the story of Exodus and the common Rabbinic interpretations of Exodus found in the first century.
As with Jesus' other parables, we must pay close attention to the symbols and what they represent.
Understanding the symbols is the key that unlocks the meaning that not only applies to that first-century context but to our own lives.
