Today’s parable (Matt 25: 1-13) is about wise and foolish
bridesmaids presumes understanding of a Jewish wedding custom of Jesus’
day. The bride waited for the arrival of the bridegroom. It also speaks of the Second Coming of Christ. It
does not matter when He comes. It matters whether we are ready or not.
We ask ourselves how
we can be ready for Jesus? Jesus tell us to watch because we do not
know the day or time when he will return. For the day is coming, and time is
still available to consider how we might better prepare. We make a
room for God in our lives, improve attitudes that need improving and allow
Jesus to stay in our hearts.
The Church provides a guide for us to live well, to
live in the way God designed us, to know our true end and live accordingly.
Are you ready now? Have you repented of your sins and placed your faith and trust in Him. Is your life committed to Him? He will come and it is our responsibility to be ready and to try to get others ready as well by warning them of His coming.
