Matthew 25

Jesus is speaking in 2 parables here that we all know very well.

1. The parable of the 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins

2. The parable of the talents given to three different servants

His parables were always there to deliver a message. Here, these are for awareness. Verse 13: Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Jesus didn't say 'if' or 'there may be a chance' He would come. He said, verse 31: When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Let's take the 2 things the Lord wants us to have here in this chapter: 1) Be aware that He is coming; 2) show His love and compassion as directed in verse 40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

All of this is for the kingdom of God and His promise in verses 33-34: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
