10 Virgins/Matthew 25 commentary:
So they ALL get drowsy and fall asleep while waiting for the Bridegroom, right? Falling asleep meant different things for each group. For the wise virgins they were at peace and rest in Christ, but for the foolish virgins they were lazy.

Wise virgins:
We all understand this parable, that being prepared and filled with oil is how we are to be prepared with the word of God and filled with the Holy Spirit! With that, we have the peace that passes our own understanding, therefore giving us rest in Yeshua!

Foolish virgins:
These ladies were unprepared, why did they think going to sleep was ok for them? Laziness and entitlement is my opinion. They tell the wise virgins "give us some of your oil." If they were unprepared when they got there then DO NOT go to sleep! The Bridegroom tarried and gave them plenty of time to right their wrong of unpreparation, and they still missed him!

If you are sleeping right now and you are unprepared for the return of our Bridegroom, wake up, he is giving you time to fill your lamps with oil! No one can do it for you! Laziness and entitlement thinking, will not fill your lamps! Get moving because when the Bridegroom arrives the door will be shut very quickly, and the last thing you want to hear from our Lord and Savior is "truly I tell you, I don't know you."
Be blessed in the Lord Jesus Christ
