“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” (Matthew 25:10).
Today’s verse reinforces others we have already explored. We have the responsibility of being ready for the Bridegroom or we will be left behind. We have the blessed hope of His appearing. Why would we be so careless as to not be ready when He comes? Why would anyone not be excited for His return?
Like the five foolish virgins in our verse, you may think you have plenty of time to make things ready when He comes. Why wait until the eleventh hour? The Bridegroom just might come at 10:59.
