The Parables Pt 14 - The Wait And The Wise - The 10 Virgins

Aug 3, 2025    Patrick Aube

We continue our Parables of Christ series with a message titled “The Wait and the Wise.”In Matthew 25:1–13, Jesus tells the story of ten bridesmaids(virgins)—five wise and five foolish—who all anticipated the arrival of the bridegroom. But only those who brought extra oil were prepared for the delay. This parable challenges us to consider: Are we spiritually awake? Are we cultivating a faith that endures when God feels silent or time stretches long? Whether Christ returns in our lifetime or calls us home at our appointed hour, the call is the same—be watchful, be filled, be ready. The invitation is still in your hands.
