The Parables of Jesus: Ten Virgins
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Parable of the Ten Virgins is read best alongside Jesus' concerns for His disciples in Matthew 24. We also do well to consider this parable through biblical definitions of "wise" and "foolish" as displayed in Proverbs. In such readings, we find this parable to be less about what we do for God and more about how well we receive God's Goodness towards us, made available through His Son Jesus Christ and granted by the Holy Spirit. Only His Goodness can entice us to seek zealously the oil of His friendship.
