What does the '10 virgins' parable mean?

10 virgins. 5 lamps. Extra oil. And God? 🤨


This parable in Matthew 25 can be kind of confusing on a first read.


Here’s the heart of it: Jesus is teaching us about readiness.


The oil represents a real relationship with Him, faith that’s alive, personal, and real. 🌱


You can’t borrow it from someone else. You can’t fake it last minute.


Being “ready” means living in step with Jesus now, not waiting until later.


📖 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” - Matthew 25:13


✨ Conviction isn’t condemnation! God’s mercy means it’s never too late to return to Him.


The invitation is open. 🤍
