Matthew 25: 1-13--This parable is a parable of the end times. It is sometimes called the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. Five of the virgins made the proper preparation. They had their lamps filled with oil and were ready when the bridegroom appeared. The other five virgin's lamps were not filled and they weren't prepared for the coming of the bridegroom. The door of the wedding feast was shut to those who were not prepared.
Jesus said that one day He would return to the Earth and establish His kingdom of righteousness. Those of us who believe are to live our lives in such a way that we would not be ashamed if Jesus were to return at this very moment.
Also, we need to make sure that we have placed our faith and trust in the finished work of Christ on the cross. When Jesus returns, the opportunity of salvation is passed. Only those who believe will enter in to His eternal kingdom.
