If Jesus came back today then are you prepared…yes or no?

If Jesus came back today then are you prepared…yes or no?


Mat 25:1-13 ASV  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.  2  And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.  3  For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:  4  but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.  5  Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.  6  But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him.  7  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.  8  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.  9  But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.  10  And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.  11  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.  12  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.  13  Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.

 

Two groups of virgins the wise and the foolish…

1.      The foolish brought no oil or fuel for the lamps against the darkness

…These virgins hear of the bridegroom and a marriage…they wait to see the bridegroom but it is a long wait and did not think about their lamps running out of fuel in the middle of the night while they are waiting on the bridegroom to start the wedding.

2.      The wise brought oil or fuel for their lamps against the darkness

…The wise knew it was the middle of the night and understood it may be late at night when he shows up…they prepared and brought more fuel so they could see. Are you prepared…if you died right now would you be saved…yes or no?

3.      They Slumbered and sleep

…While they waited in the night they all fell asleep…waiting…

 

Bridegroom…

1.      Is delayed…

…We do not know the reason for his delay…business details…marriage details…but is delayed and makes it as soon as possible…

2.      The cry of his coming…

…Those at the marriage are expecting him and hear the bridegroom is near…lets out a cry…he is finally here get ready for the feast…

3.      Finally the time is prepared and he is now there…

…Everyone hears and preparing for the marriage…

 

Marriage begins…for those ready or prepared

1.      The door is opened and the prepared are allowed into the marriage

…it’s the middle of the night…the door opens and those who have the light in the darkness are let in because they are there and prepared…they have oil in their lamps and are seen by the portal of the door…then because they are prepared allowed inside.

2.      The Door is shut and the unprepared are left outside

…Those who could not see because they ran out of oil had to go find some fuel to be able to even see the entrance into the marriage feast…when the door is opened they are running errands to finds oil so they can be prepared and waiting…they are left outside in the darkness…

3.      The bridegroom’s choice to not deal with the unprepared…

…The bridegroom was delayed and so was his marriage…the party at the marriage was just waiting on him…the details had to be ironed out…the business had to be handled…the preparations had to be made…but even though they are waiting on the bridegroom…notice He does not wait or cater to the unprepared…but allowed those who were ready even though He was delayed…

 

 

Are you prepared to enter into the marriage feast with Jesus Christ…yes or no? Would you go to Heaven is Jesus came back today…yes or no? Have you been baptized…yes or no? Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you could never choose a wrong thing again…there is no reason not to be prepared and waiting on His coming…Jesus will forgive you of all past wrongs and then teach or reveal the truth to you so you can do what is right with your Creator…

 


Jesus said after His resurrection… 

Mar 16:14-20 ASV  And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen.  

 

15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.  16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieves shall be condemned.  

 

17  And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;  18  they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.  19  So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.  20  And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

 

 

Father we ask you would confirm we must be baptized in ordered to be prepared for Your Only Son’s coming…so we may not have to live in doubt but know we have done that which is required to be prepared…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

 

 

If Jesus came back today then are you prepared…yes or no?
