A devotional reflection on Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins.
Ten virgins waited for the bridegroom. All had lamps, but only five brought oil. Jesus used this story to teach about readiness for His return.
A Warning Against Neglect
The foolish virgins were unprepared. Their lamps burned out. Their opportunity passed. Jesus warned that spiritual neglect leads to unprepared hearts.
A Call to Watchfulness
The wise virgins kept oil in their lamps. They lived ready. Jesus calls His followers to stay awake spiritually, to guard their hearts, and to walk in obedience.
Living Ready for His Coming
Readiness is not fear but devotion. It is living with purpose, holiness, and expectation.
