The Faithful Bridesmaids

Pastor Scott Brenner Matthew 25:1-13
[1] "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
[2] "Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
[3] "Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,
[4] "but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
[5] "But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
[6] "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!'
[7] "Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
[8] "And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
[9] "But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'
[10] "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
[11] "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!'
[12] "But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'
[13] "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
