Some believe they are almost ready for the return of the Lord, but today Jesus will emphasize that being close to the truth is not the same as being ready for it! Today, Jesus’ parable makes three important points… I – You can look , and NOT be! (Matthew 25:1-5) II – You can and be exposed! (Matthew 25:6-9) III – You can and be too late!(Matthew 25:10-13) Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself… “Am I , or am I just ?” “What the true condition of my heart?” “Am I now, or do I need more ?” NEXT WEEK: Ministry Where You Are!
