TOPIC: Parable Of The Ten Virgins I [Open Heaven for Teens 12 March 2023]

MEMORISE: Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matthew 25:13

READ: Matthew 25:1-13

1 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.

3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 23-24

MESSAGE

In this parable, Jesus Christ taught us how to prepare for His second coming. He advised that these last days, a Christian should be faithful, prayerful and burning with the fire of the Holy Ghost so that the fellow may be ready when He comes. The truth is, the world is no longer eager about the coming of Christ, but as Jesus said, it would happen unexpectedly as He will come “like a thief in the night.”

Our Bible text shows that all the virgins were sleeping when the call came. This implies that it doesn’t matter what you are doing at any time, you must be doing it the right way when Jesus returns so that you won’t be agitated about repentance or making restitutions.

Beloved, there will be no extra second to jump on the Lord’s side if you’re not already there before the trumpet sounds. Do all that you can to let your purity remain intact. I will see you in Heaven in Jesus’ name.

HYMN 21 – I Want To Be Like Jesus

  1. I want to be like Jesus,
    So lowly and so meek;
    For no one mark’d an angry word,
    That ever heard Him speak,
  2. I want to be like Jesus,
    So frequently in prayer;
    Alone upon the mountain top,
    He met his Father there.
  3. I want to be like Jesus,
    I never, never find
    That He, though persecuted was
    To anyone unkind.
  4. I want to be like Jesus,
    Engaged in doing good;
    So that of me it may be said
    “He hath done what he could.”
  5. I want to be like Jesus,
    Who sweetly said to all,
    “Let little children come to Me;”
    I would obey the call.
  6. But oh I’m not like Jesus,
    As anyone may see;
    O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
    And make me like to Thee
