The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) - KR 67
Jesus has an uncanny way to disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed.
In this Parable Jesus seems to invite those listening to imagine a world where judgment is surprising. Longing for and attention to Jesus’ return is so important and Jesus drives that point powerfully home in the Parable of the Ten Virgins. This parable is one of the most difficult to understand, but when we let Jesus imagine the world the implications of this parable would create it has significant consequences for the church today.
