Sermon Series: The Parables of Jesus

Sermon Title: The Parable of the Ten Virgins

Sermon Text: Matthew 25:1-13

Daily Devotional Guide

While Jesus' story of the ten virgins can seem difficult to understand at first, it's really not that complicated. Christ is returning for his people and you need to make sure that you are part of his people. In this parable, Jesus builds on a common theme we see elsewhere in Scripture - the difference between the wise and the foolish. 

In Proverbs, the wise man fears the Lord. The foolish man walks a pathway to destruction. 

In the Sermon on the Mount, the wise man listens to and obeys the words of Christ and his house withstands the storm. The foolish man does the opposite and is destroyed. 

And in this morning's passage, the wise are prepared. The foolish are not. The wise are welcomed in. The foolish are not. 

As you read and pray this week, ask God to help you to live in full devotion to him, whether Jesus returns tomorrow or 10,000 years from now.
