Ten virgins took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five were foolish, and five were wise.
Matthew 25:1-2
The moment
Every one of them had a lamp. Every one of them went out. The difference was hidden until the bridegroom came.
Matthew 25:1-2
Where it points
Israel stood at Shechem, and Joshua set the choice before them: choose this day whom you will serve. That covenant at Sinai, those ten words, were never meant to be abolished but fulfilled — love is the fulfilling of the law.
Joshua 24:14-15 · Exodus 20:1-17 · Matthew 5:17-22 · Romans 13:8-10
For today
Today, before anything else, say it plainly: as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
