This is an amazing example of the hope of bodily resurrection that some Old Testament believers had. It is one of my favorite verses of Scripture because it states to me that no matter what my present circumstances, good and blessed like Abraham or tested and afflicted like Job, we have this hope of a future bodily resurrection because our Savior, Jesus Christ lives! And in the end He will reign on the earth! And with my eyes I will see God, though I have died and my flesh has once decayed! I can know that death has no victory over me and cannot hold me forever, because Jesus conquered the grave. The enemy has no claim on me, because Jesus despoiled him and his evil intents towards me!
Thank you for bringing this verse to remembrance. I was just thinking of it last night!
This is how I know this parable.
PART 1
The lamp is us, the oil is the Holly Spirit, the light ( Matthew 5:15-16) is our pure life. But an introduction is needed first.
How does one have spiritual fruit in his life? The answer is that that fruit is a result of the work of the Holly Spirit in him, that is why in Galatians 5:22 the scripture talks about the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT. It is not due to our struggles to aquire that fruit in our lives, it would be impossible to aquire love, peace, joy...on our own, it it smt given to us by God through His Spirit. How does one gets rid of the works of flesh ( Galatians 5:19-21) in his life The answer is by the HS ( Romans 8:13). In simple words how can somebody who comes to Jesus can change his character to be similar to Christ's, how can he be changed from a sinful person full of what the scripture calls deeds/works of flesh (sins,faults,passions,bad habits etc) and become a person with clean and pure life? The answer is due to the work of the Holly Spirit in him. That is why a person that never comes to Jesus can never become a saint no matter how hard he tries. There are certain limits we humans have. On our own we can never, say, love our enemy no matter how hard we try, we can never give up smoking, drugs, drinks, swearing, adultery, fornication no matter how hard we try. All these are results of the work of the HS inside us. So what is needed to supply our lamps with to have light/pure life? The answer is with God's Spirit. How do we fill ourselves with the HS. By reading the Word of God, going to church, have communion with other christians, have Holly Communion and mainly by PRAYING IN SPIRIT. In other words by living a decent christian life.
Now the 5 wise virgins made the proper preparation to meet the groom. This represents all christians that live a decent spiritual life walking God's way and let God's Spirit change them. Their life shines all the time.The rest represent the ones that walk with one foot inside and the other outside God's path. They live a christian life but not in its fullness, they occasionally, not always, read the Word of God, occasionally pray, occasionally go to church, occasionally have company with other christians, in other words they haven't taken seriously their salvation, they don't get prepared to meet Jesus. They don't realy try to change. They don't try to fill themselves with the Spirit of God, but maybe they let the spirit of world live in them sometimes.They don't really try to have their light on. They think there is still time so they postpone their preparation for later on. they are not in a hurry. So the oil starts finishing and the light starts blinking, which means that sin starts coming in their lives so their lives is not always pure and clean. If this is kept going the light will eventually go off and darkness will come in their lives. The darkness, the spiritual darkness represents a sinful life. If Jesus arrives when they (we) are at that stage, we will be left out of the Marriage. How horrible is to hear "I don't know you" How don't you know me my Lord? Am I not your child? Haven't you written my name in the Book of Life? Haven't you baptised me in your Spirit, haven't you given me spiritual gifts/miracles/casting out devils? "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that WORK INIQUITY."
We don't know when Jesus is going to come in our lives. We have to be ready all the time, our life has to shine all the time, ready to repent for our sins when necessary and walk Jesus' way. Not let sin in our lifes, not stepping back, not walking with one foot in faith and the other in the sinful world.
I hope it helps.
