The Parable of the
Ten Virgins
Scripture Passage: Matthew
25:1-13
Jesus teaches about belonging to the kingdom of Heaven. We
belong to the kingdom of Heaven if we believe Jesus is our
Saviour. The kingdom is compared to ten virgins waiting
for a bridegroom. Five virgins were wise. They
prepared for the coming of the bridegroom. Five virgins
are foolish. They did not prepare. This tells us
to make sure we prepare for the return of Jesus. We don't
know when Jesus will return. We must be sure our sins
are forgiven. Jesus wants us to live good and holy lives.
Questions:
1. What did the five wise bridesmaids do?
They prepared for
the coming of the bridegroom.
2. What did the five foolish virgins
do?
They did not prepare for the coming of the bridegroom.
3. What
must we prepare for?
The return of the Lord Jesus.
Memory verse: Matthew
25:13
So stay awake and be prepared, because you do not know the day or hour of my return. (NLT)
