Saving All the World in Jesus Christ

Matthew 25:1-13

1 "Then the kingdom of heaven will be

Like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 


Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 

The wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 

 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' 

7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 

 But the wise answered, saying, 'Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.' 

10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us.

12 But he answered, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 

13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.





When we think of Public Opinion, it's good to find what Success and Sales would say:


Charles Dickens didn't feel the world fell into right and wrong and cultural divisions. Dickens believed in Shepherds and flocks. Dickens believed in small circles of people who behave alike together. And because of his own experiences of poverty, work house father, child labor, success, struggle, worry and stress - Dickens felt we had to work hard to keep our Lamp Going.

Dickens believed what we think we see in others can change. His mother did not want him taken out of child labor as the family prospered. His sister in law, so beloved, died in his arms. His brother embezzled from him. And his insights into human beings have long been regarded.

Jesus said

Matthew 7: 14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way

Does not conflict with with God wants to save all the world in Jesus Christ. We are to find Jesus and find our Path in Jesus. Finding in Matthew 25 next to the Lamps Burning, we find this:


Matthew 25 Continuing the Burning Lamp - The Light of the world - Jesus -

15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.


Why did the Master go away? The Father is the Father of the prodigal son. God has given us a purpose to run Home to our Father.


Ephesians 4:13
Continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son
we will be mature in the Lord,
measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.


Colossians 2 As the Lamps are lit

8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy,
which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.

9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness

God made you alive with Christ.
He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.

Rejoice and again I say, Rejoice.
