"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall
give thee the desires of thine heart."---Psalm 37:4 |
|
Abraham Lincoln once stated, "Do not worry; eat three square meals a
day; say your prayers; be courteous to your creditors; keep your
digestion good; exercise; go slow and easy. Maybe there are other things
your special case requires to make you happy; but, my friend, these I
reckon will give you a good lift." I would add to what he said by
ridding yourself of the creditors as much as possible. Now there is
happiness! |

Sermon: Final Exam -preparation for the Passover/Lord's Supper While in college, I was taking a Health class for 3 college credits. It was a required class for graduation. One day, upon arriving to take the class, I was shocked to find out a major exam was being given. The results of the exam would be considered a major portion of our quarter grade. I was not ready. No one had told me about any test.
I had not been prepared. I had been taken totally by surprise. I felt helpless; there was nothing I could do. I felt so bad, being caught unawares, I cancelled the class until the next quarter.
Such was the case with 5 of the 10 virgins we read about in Matthew 25. Let’s turn there and read.
Matthew 25:1-13 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
So, like myself in that college class, these 5 virgins were caught by surprise. They knew the bridegroom was coming someday, they just failed in their preparation.
Maybe if they had just examined themselves along
the way, they would have known their lamps were growing empty. |
