Mateo 25:1-13

The parable of the 10 virgins 25:1-13

This parable helps disciples understand what it means to await the King’s return with prudence.

". . . the point is simply that readiness, whatever form it takes, is not something that can be achieved by a last-minute adjustment. It depends on long-term provision, and if that has been made, the wise disciple can sleep secure in the knowledge that everything is ready." [Note: France, The Gospel . . ., p. 947.]
