In Matthew 25:1–13, Jesus tells the parable of the ten bridesmaids waiting for the bridegroom’s arrival. Through this warning, Jesus exposes three foolish assumptions people make about eternity—that faith can be borrowed from others, that a simple invitation replaces a personal relationship, and that we will always have more time. But the warning reaches beyond the bridesmaids in this story. Are you personally prepared for the return of King Jesus, or are you running on borrowed oil?
