Jesus, God’s Perfect Gift to You. Do You Have Time for God

Are we truly ready for Christ's return? This powerful message delves into the parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25:1-13, challenging us to examine our spiritual preparedness. The story of five wise and five foolish virgins waiting for the bridegroom serves as a poignant reminder that Jesus' return will be sudden and unexpected. We're called to maintain our spiritual 'oil' - our faith, devotion, and good works - so that when He comes, we're ready to meet Him. This parable beautifully illustrates the personal nature of our faith journey; no one can prepare for us, and we can't rely on others' spirituality. The urgency of being ready is emphasized throughout, reminding us that 'now is the acceptable time' for salvation. As we reflect on this message, let's ask ourselves: Are we living each day as if it could be the moment of Christ's return?
