“A torch is not a private devotion, but a public declaration. If someone looked only at the outward signs of your faith, would they see a burning torch?” -
Continuing our series on Paradoxology, Janice spoke on the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25:1–13. This parable reveals how the waiting season ultimately exposes those who have not prepared themselves, like the foolish virgins whose torches burned out, and those who remained ready for His coming, like the wise virgins who brought extra flasks of oil for the bridegroom’s arrival.
From Genesis to Revelation, the pattern remains the same: preparation must precede the moment, and the moment cannot be negotiated. Knowing this, may we not live as though we have more time than we do, but instead live watchful, prepared, and ready for His return.
