It’s Like the Bridesmaids and Their Lamps

Matthew 25:1-13
Always be ready; the King could come at any time!

Luke 12:35-36, 40 “Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, 36and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks… 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Always be ready; the King could come at any time!

Oswald Chambers from My Utmost for His Highest: “Readiness for God means that we are prepared to do the smallest thing or the largest thing— it makes no difference. It means we have no choice in what we want to do, but that whatever God’s plans may be, we are there and ready. Whenever any duty presents itself, we hear God’s voice as our Lord heard His Father’s voice, and we are ready for it…”

Always be ready; the King could come at any time!
