516th Post Jesus Said Concerning Parables Con't. - Parable of the Ten Virgins Con't. - Matthew 25: 1 - 13, Con't. 5th Post.

Matthew 25: 1 - 13, continued 5th post. The Ten Virgins.
When we decide to follow Christ, we are like the ten virgins.  It is up to us, which type of virgin will we be.  Will we be found actively standing at our post with all of our materials at our fingertips ready for work at a moments notice.  Or will we be like the five foolish virgins, that made a commitment a while ago, and have stopped working and growing along the way, so when the time for action comes we are found to be unprepared and have to go and get our materials and return ready for action, but find the door locked, with us outside?  The wedding feast in this story is how Jesus told His listeners His Second Coming would be like.  We are to wait to enter until He arrives and then proceed inside with Him at our side.  It is interesting to note, what Jesus says to these foolish virgins when they finally are ready to enter and find the door closed.  They call out to the people in the inside to open the door, but get this reply instead, "Assuredly I say to you, I don't know you."
Jesus was saying that once He has entered and the door closed, no one else can enter.  I have run out of room again will continue next post.
