The groom&#8217;s party was late coming to get the bride, and unfortunately, five of the lamps went out.\u00a0 The bridesmaids wanted to borrow oil for their lamps from the other five bridesmaids. They said no, so the five without oil to keep their lamps burning, were left behind.<\/p>\n<p>The parable reveals that when Christ returns, each person must stand on his or her own. Your mother\u2019s faith will not save you. Your wife\u2019s faith will not save you. You will not be saved by the spiritual life of your son or daughter.<\/p>\n<p>The question will be, \u201cWhere do you stand?\u201d Are you alive in Christ? Are you ready?<\/p>\n<p>Five women had to go out and get oil, but they were too late. Those who are ready will go with Christ, the feast is ready. Do not be shut out.<\/p>\n<p>There is no time left to think about turning to Christ. So trim your lamps, and have extra oil. Keep your faith strong, do not let it slide, be prepared, be ready.
