For those who would like to delve further, here is a great illustration of the 1o Virgins Parable by Jesus in Matt 25. Remember, Jesus gave symbols in the parables to depict certain simple truths:
- Oil= Holy Spirit
- Lamp= physical/bodily vessel=Christians
- Virgins=chaste women= Christ’s Church as a body
Do you have enough Oil when it gets as dark as midnight to meet Jesus?? Prov 20:27
