Matthew 25 | Parables of Jesus: The Parable of the Ten Virgins #biblestudy #scriptureoftheday #faith

The Parable of the Ten Virgins is a biblical story found in the book of Matthew 25:1-13. It tells of ten virgins who were awaiting the arrival of a bridegroom, each holding a lamp. Five were wise and brought extra oil, while five were foolish and didn't prepare adequately. The bridegroom's arrival was delayed, and all ten virgins fell asleep. When he finally came, the wise virgins had enough oil to light their lamps, but the foolish ones had run out. They asked for oil from the wise, but they were told to go buy some. While the foolish virgins were away buying oil, the bridegroom arrived, and the wise virgins entered the wedding feast with him. When the foolish virgins returned, the door was shut, and they were denied entry.

This parable teaches the importance of being spiritually prepared and vigilant for the return of Christ, as no one knows the exact timing of His coming. It emphasizes the need for faithfulness and readiness in one's spiritual journey.
