Is Your Lamp Lit?: Staying Ready for Jesus’ Return | S2 Ep14 (2025)
In Episode 214 of the Closer to Jesus podcast, we’re diving into one of the most powerful parables Jesus shared—the story of the ten virgins in Matthew 25. It’s a story about wisdom, preparedness, and keeping our spiritual lamps full. In today’s world, it’s easy to look the part of a believer but still lack the oil—true anointing and intimacy with Jesus. This episode is your reminder to check your oil and stay ready.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
- Matthew 25:1-13 – The Parable of the Ten Virgins: five wise, five foolish—only those with oil were ready when the bridegroom came.
- Matthew 13:16 – “But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.”
- 1 Corinthians 15:30-33 (MSG) – Paul’s bold declaration of resurrection power as the reason for his relentless faith.
- Isaiah 28:10 – “For precept must be upon precept… here a little, and there a little.”
This isn’t just a warning—it’s an opportunity. Are you filling your lamp daily through prayer, the Word, worship, and obedience? Are you living with the expectation that Jesus could return at any moment?
Let’s live wise, anointed, and on fire for God. Let’s carry fresh oil every day. Let’s walk in the resurrection power that sustains our faith, even in the darkest moments.
🔥 Don’t just carry the lamp. Make sure it’s lit.
