Scripture Reading
Matthew 25:1-13
1 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Scripture Union Daily Guide 10 September 2025 Outline
Jesus Himself is telling us here about His second coming. He likens the waiting of ten virgins – five wise and five foolish. Find the similarities and differences between the two groups of virgins in the passage. In Matthew 25:9a, the wise would not give some oil to the foolish because the timing is wrong. Jesus wants us to be adequately prepared at all times. In Scripture, oil is usually symbolic of the Holy Spirit. In our world today, many profess to be Christians but live contrary to God’s Word. We should allow the Holy Spirit to guide and control our lives each day. It is the prerogative of the bridegroom to choose when to arrive. It was the responsibility of the virgins to be prepared for any unforeseen situation by carrying along with them extra oil for their lamps.
Notice what happened to the two groups of virgins in Matthew 25:5b. All were waiting for the final trumpet call (Matthew 24:31, the midnight cry, Matthew 25:6). The watchword is readiness (see Matthew 25:13). Only those who are ready for Christ’s return will be welcomed by Him into His kingdom. And the time to be ready is now. There is no repentance in the grave.
