DON'T BE A FOOL. (JESUS IS COMING)


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: DON'T BE A FOOL. (JESUS IS COMING)

Matthew 25:1-2 KJV
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. [2] And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Five virgins were Wise and five were foolish! Notice the similarities between the wise and foolish:
- All 10 dressed in white robes
- All 10 were virgins...pure faith, life
- All 10 had brightly burning lights
- All 10 waited for Christ to come. Knew it was near.
- All 10 were ready for His coming at one point.
- All 10 slept soundly
- All 10 had to be awakened with a shout
- All 10 were taken by surprise
- All 10 lamps needed trimming and filling
- All 10 virgins saw the bridal party coming.

Now with the many similarities, there's very little difference between the five foolish and the five wise! They all seemed ready. If there had been no delay they all would have gone inside because they all had lights at one time.
But there was a delay. That's what make the crucial difference. They all would have gone in.

Today, Jesus could have come before now. We should have been in the Holy City by now. Right God's church is in a holding pattern. We're not going anywhere, it seems.
And yet I want to tell you that just at the time you think maybe He's not coming, that's just the time He's just around the corner. I believe Jesus' coming is just that far away, very close.
2 Peter 3:3-4 KJV
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, [4] And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.j
1 John 2:28 KJV
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

LET US PRAY FATHER LORD JESUS, DON'T LET ME LOSE THE CALL TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN JESUS NAME.
