#246: Matthew 24-25 | Heaven is like ten virgins
Manage episode 419873420 series 3423470
In Chapter 24, Jesus tells us how the world will end. Badly, I'm afraid. And within the lifetime of his listeners.
Chapter 25 includes three parables. In the first one, ten virgins get ready for one bridegroom - some had oil and some didn't. The moral of the story is this: make sure you have your oil ready, because you never know when Jesus will come. And Jesus won't know you unless you have your oil ready.
The second is about a cruel master who expects his servants to make money for him. If you don't give him more than he gave you, he'll cast you into the outer darkness where you'll weep and gnash your teeth.
And the third is about sheep and goats. Everyone is one or the other to God. If you're a sheep you'll go to heaven; if you're a goat you'll go to hell. It's all about how you treat Jesus, who disguises himself as your fellow humans.
