Lesson Matthew 25:1-thirteen
Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to run into the bridegroom. Five of them were wise, and five were foolish. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; only the wise took flasks of oil in their vessels with their lamps.

As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a shout, "Look! Hither is the benedict! Come out to run into him." Then all those bridesmaids got upwards, and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, "Requite us some of your oil; for our lamps are going out." But the wise replied, "No!  There will not be plenty for us and you: you had improve become to the dealers and buy some for yourselves."

And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came; and those that were ready went with him to the wedding: and the door was shut. Afterwards the other bridesmaids came also, saying, "Lord, Lord, open to us." But he replied, "Truly I tell you, I do non know you lot". Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the 24-hour interval nor the hr (that the Son of man cometh). [NRSV]

How many of the bridesmaids knew the bridegroom was coming? All of them. Then why weren't they all prepare? They got sleepy and weren't prepared for the long expect. The foolish bridesmaids didn't bring enough oil. Jesus says nosotros must be like the wise bridesmaids that were prepared. Nosotros must exist fix for the look. What are we waiting for? For Christ to come.

The bridesmaids knew what they were supposed to do - to participate in the nuptials and have themselves and their lamps prepare when the bridegroom came. We also know what we are supposed to do. We are to have ourselves gear up and our tasks set up when Christ comes. The bridesmaids did not accept a huge task and neither exercise we. Simply nosotros must be set up.
