Introduction
In chapter 25, Jesus teaches about the Kingdom of heaven by means of three parables known as parables of judgment, and his teachings focus on how to be ready for God’s coming kingdom. The chapter is a continuation of the eschatological discourse begun in Matthew 24:36-51. In today’s reading, Jesus uses a parable about five wise and five foolish young women and the importance of being ready for Jesus’ glorious return.
Scripture Reading
Matthew 25:1-13
Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 25:13
And Jesus concluded, “Watch out, then, because you do not know the day or the hour.”
Reflect
Verses 1-13 highlight the need for watchfulness and readiness. Who is the bridegroom? Describe the actions of the five wise and five foolish young women. What were the consequences of the actions of the foolish women? While Jesus says that we do not know the day or the hour of his return, he admonishes us to be watchful and ready. How are you preparing for Jesus’s return?
Pray
Lord Jesus, may your Kingdom come here on earth as it is in heaven. As I await your coming, help me to be a good and faithful steward of your blessings, and help me to be ready to welcome and receive you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those planning their weddings.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 25:14-30: Jesus uses a parable about three servants to teach about the Kingdom of heaven.
