Ten Ladies in Waiting
Sep 15, 2024 • Dr. Christopher Moody
Jesus gives a fourth illustration (3 previous are Figs, Flood of Noah, Faithful fella put in charge) to warn His would-be disciples to ready for His return at any moment with a parable of the ten female virgins waiting for the groom and his wedding procession. In this story the groom comes back later than expected. Five of the bridesmaids are wise, and five are called “foolish” because they were not prepared to wait so long.
