Matthew 25
In our last reading, Jesus spoke to his disciples about living faithfully during the end times and about the return of the Son of Man. Jesus continues in this same discourse as we pick up and read today’s chapter with two parables and one analogy that sounds a lot like a parable. All three of these ideas focus on diligence, perseverance, and expectation for the return of the Son of Man. In the parable of the ten virgins, Jesus teaches his disciples to prepare themselves for his return, even planning their lives appropriately toward that end. In the parable of the talents, Jesus addresses using one’s gifts and opportunities to advance the kingdom in his absence. In the analogy of sheep and goats, Christ discusses humble service to those in need.
