Matthew 25:1-13
Jesus throughout the Gospels urges his listeners many times to be watchful and to be prepared. And this parable in Matthew is just one of the many places that he reiterates the necessity and the importance of being in a perpetual state of readiness. Now look a casual hearing, particularly to our modern western ears, we might not understand why this parable is so relevant to the return of Jesus. Those present at that time, knew what the Lord was sharing, would have fully understood the context of what’s being said. In the parallel Jesus is representative of the bride groom.
