The door was shut
Matthew 25:10
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 Isaiah 26:20, Matthew 24:42-51, Revelation 14:3-5
Comments: Where did the five foolish virgins go to buy for themselves? They obviously went to the wrong place, were listening to the wrong person or people, had misplaced allegiance or values, because when the Bridegroom came calling, they missed out entirely. Jesus said, Broad is the way that leads to destruction and narrow is the way that leads to life. He also said, You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Truth is a person, and not simply a set of theological values. Jesus is Truth personified.

Note from the editor: I read my Bible every day, always picking up today where I left off yesterday. I call this my “on-track” Bible reading. I have been doing this for over 44 years. It was the best advice I was ever given, and it changed my life. If you are not presently doing the same, I invite you to join me. How much you read on a daily basis isn’t important. It only matters that you read, feeding your spirit with a prayerful dose of the living and powerful Word of God.
