Read Matthew 25:1-13 (New International Version)1) Before hearing the sermon on the parable of the Ten Bridesmaids, what did the story mean to you? Is it one of your favorites or one you mostly ignore? Why?2) 2020 is a year of confusion, upheaval and unanswered questions; it was a time of confusions, upheaval, and unanswered questions when Jesus told this parable. Why do you think Jesus used a story about five wise bridesmaids who had extra oil and five foolish bridesmaids who ran out of oil? What point was Jesus trying to make to his listeners then and now? 3) Which set of bridesmaids do you most identify with: the wise or the foolish?4) There were three main points in the sermon: 1. The Bridegroom intends to return. 2. No one knows when the return will happen. 3. Plan for a long wait or a short wait.Discuss these points and what they mean to your life now.5) We must be prepared for Christ’s return spiritually, mentally, and physically.Do you feel prepared in those three areas? What else could you do to get ready?
