Pastor Steve begins by presenting the elements in the parable. The ten virgins are the bridal party. The bridegroom is Jesus. The wedding banquet is the reception. The lamps are necessary to make the journey. The oil is the Holy Spirit.
Foolishness can neglect an encounter with the holy, the sharing in the joy of others, or God-given glimpse of eternity.
Signs of neglect are a casual attitude toward the gift, a dimming of the light – a cooling of the fire, or a disinterest in the return of Christ.
To avoid the pitfall of neglect be sure you have the gift. Keep the end in mind always. Be alert.
