Living For Christ's Return -Matthew 25v 1-13

Are we living for Christ's return? in our daily lives considering this at any time wherever we are seen what a day when Jesus comes sheer bliss! Here in this parable of the ten virgins Jesus speaks of the foolish and the wise some were ready but others were not awaiting to find the heavenly prize When Christ returns will Christians be ready? these five foolish virgins thought so so will some of today's church be likewise? it's so important for everyone to know The wise virgins oiled their lamps so their lamps were bright showing light when the darkness came light were seen this light eternally shines into the night In this life the shop that sells oil will be open but one day it will close so as when Christ returns his door's shut for those shut out they're full of woes So make sure your lamp glows preparing to meet your God the day of His return you don't know live life please God use His mighty sword (“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 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.’ And 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. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.) Matthew 25: 1-13 (ESV)

Hi Gordon, First of all apologies, although your were the first to comment on my last poem I do not know how I overlooked it - apologies again - when our Saviour returns will he be shunned, will the people accept him, they didn't then, will they now in this chaotic slipping world? I hope so with all my heart. An amazing write, your faith shines like a beacon on poetry soup. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

You can do more for your brothers than to witness our Wayshower in all you do and write beautiful truths as have here, and in other poems. And, Gordon, to me that's not doing a little bit, it is doing the right bit and inking it so engagingly with each line. 1st stanza, last line, did you mean bliss rather than bless? (hope I'm helping not overstepping) Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thanks CayCay, you're so encouraging and uplifting with your words, as needing them this week as past 2 days in bed with cold and going on holiday on Saturday. I did mean bliss but I'm on kindle fire which on PS can't edit it so hopefully if up later will change it on my pc. You're not overstepping it at all, always good to be advised to do things better. Now hope I'm not overstepping it, is that a new pic of you? Looking rather lovely may I say. God bless you this day, poetry hugs,Gordon

I don't think most people are living for his return and when that day is upon us many will be locked out of the doors! Good write Gordon :) hugs
