This powerful message confronts us with one of the most sobering parables Jesus ever told: the ten virgins awaiting the bridegroom's return. The stark reality that five were wise and five were foolish challenges us to examine where we stand today. Are we among those eagerly anticipating Christ's return with lamps full of oil, or have we allowed the delays and distractions of life to lull us into spiritual drowsiness? The message draws a compelling parallel between Simeon, who recognized the infant Messiah through the Holy Spirit's guidance, and the Pharisees who couldn't recognize Him even after witnessing miracles. The difference wasn't knowledge—the Pharisees could quote Scripture flawlessly—but the presence and leading of the Holy Spirit. We're reminded that in these last days, it's not about how much Bible trivia we know, but whether the Holy Spirit actively dwells within us, keeping our lamps burning bright. The call is clear: pursue holiness, fear God, eagerly anticipate the Messiah's return, and above all, stay filled with the Holy Spirit. This isn't about creating fear, but about awakening us to the glorious reality that our Groom is coming for His bride, and we must be ready.
