  1. Parables that Teach us How to live Out these Last days THE WAITING ROOM

  2. Being Watchful Matthew 25:1-13

  3. Matthew 25:1-13 1“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. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.

  4. Matthew 25:1-13 6But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’

  5. Matthew 25:1-13 10And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

  6. The Big Picture As we wait for Jesus’ return, we must prepare our lives for His coming with wisdom and watchfulness!

  7. Getting Ready • Several ways to prepare: • Lifestyle and example – We need to be living the way that God has laid out in His Word so that He will know His people when He comes. • Telling others about Him – There is a short time of opportunity before Jesus’ return in which God is gracious, but afterward, there is little grace!

  8. Watching and Waiting We must be wise in everything that we do and say as we wait. Waiting is not about sitting around, but about pursuing God. Jesus told us about the signs of His coming, and we should be observant without being overly obsessed with them.
