Foolish!

Matthew 25: 1 - 2

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

² Five of them were foolish, and five were wise…”

Nights like last night, remind me of when I was a kid.

We used to play hide and seek in the dark summer of the night in our north side Oshkosh neighborhood.

You couldn’t seen your hand in front of your face, and I was often scared half to death.

The seeker would yell to all of the hiders… “Ready or not…here I come!!”

Did you know that the time of Jesus’ return could happen at any minute?

I’m not sure He’s going to yell… “Ready or not…here I come”, but people will be completely taken off guard when He does come back.

At this very moment in your life, would you say that you’re foolish, or wise?

People put off the most important things now days…don’t they?

Getting ready for this event, is something you just don’t want to put off planning for.

Sadly, most will have excuses that day, that will in no way fly.

The great preacher John Wesley was asked this question one day… “What would you do if you knew the Lord would return at this same time tomorrow?”

And his response was… “I would go to bed and go to sleep; wake up in the morning, and go on with my work, for I would want Him to find me doing, exactly what he had appointed me to do.”

So what would your answer be, to that very same question?
