The Wise and Foolish Virgins
Jesus' parable about readiness, watchfulness, and the weight of wisdom.
January 20, 2026
In this parable, readiness is not optional. Some carry oil, some carry excuses.
Jesus frames the kingdom as a kingdom that appears suddenly, and those prepared discover joy while others face loss.
The call is personal: keep a life prepared for grace, not for noise, trend, or last-minute panic.
