Paint Party Friday: Oil for our Torches

This is what I drew this morning 

while waiting for a "phone patch"

interview about our business.

This is one of the virgins in the parable Jesus told

to the disciples in Matthew 25:1-13.

He said the Kingdom of Heaven could be compared

to the ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom.

Five of them were ready but five of them 

did not bring oil for their torches.

What do you think happened?

Five of the maidens were ready to go with the bridegroom

when he arrived but the five foolish ones

had to leave to buy some oil

and were left outside.

This parable is about the end times 

when Jesus will come again.

There are many who think the end is near.

Even the disciples were thinking the end was near

and that was 2000 years ago!

Even if the end is near or not,

one thing is sure!

Each one of us will die

and that is OUR end for us!!

Are we ready?

Are we prepared?

Do we have oil for our torches?
