Bible Question: How does this Scripture along with Matthew 25:1-13 connect with the idea of eternal security? |
Bible Answer: Greetings bhaun and welcome to the forum! In any parable if you understand what each person(s) symbolize you can better understand what it is about. In the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew the bridegroom is Christ and the 10 virgins are the believing Christians. The lamps are a symbol of the profession that Christ is Lord and died for our sins. The oil symbolizes the power and person of the Holy Spirit. In this parable it stands for the oil that makes the lamp produce light or the Holy Spirit behind the outward profession (the lamp) that makes a difference between a life lived by the power of the Holy Spirit and the merely nominal Christian. The sleepers are those who are those Christians who are commonly called "Sunday Christians" - those who claim to be Christians but are complacent about Christ. The midnight cry is the return of Christ. Those Christians who are saved, sanctified and baptized with the Holy Spirit will go with Christ to the marriage supper. Those who aren't will be left behind. In Luke (also in Matt 24:45-51) in the parable of the Faithful Steward it agains refers to the return of Christ. The steward is the Christian and the master is Christ. Those who are 'about their father's business' will be taken in the rapture and those who aren't won't. Being 'about their father's business' in this parable emphasizes the responsibility of every Christian to feed Christ's sheep with the bread of Christ (his word). prayon |
