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. 🤍
