In Matthew 25:1-13, Jesus shares the parable of the ten virgins, emphasizing readiness for His return. As the bridegroom's arrival is delayed, five virgins, unprepared without oil, miss the celebration. This sermon delves into the urgency of spiritual preparedness and vigilance, echoing Luke 21:36 and 1 Thessalonians 1:10, reassuring believers that they are not destined for wrath but for salvation. Moreover, Revelation vividly portrays the tribulations preceding Christ's return, urging believers to stand firm (Revelation 6:8, 9:18).

Drawing from Joel's prophecy and Christ's teachings (Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:3, Luke 21:28), we recognize the signs heralding His imminent return. Additional Scriptures like Revelation 11:5-10 and 13:11-18 provide insights into end-time events, challenging believers to discern the times and remain faithful amidst tribulations.

This sermon aims to ignite a sense of urgency and expectancy, urging believers to be spiritually alert and prepared as we await the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
