Last month we began a three-part series on the Parable of the Ten Virgins. This is part of our ongoing survey of our book, The Kingdom, Power and Glory. This particular parable is very controversial and many good scholars see it very differently than we do. So again, be as the Bereans and see what the Holy Spirit confirms to you.

Last month we talked about the Jewish Marriage ceremony and its parallels to the Christian life. In summary, our Justification can be compared to the Jewish betrothal. Our Sanctification can be compared to a Jewish woman preparing herself for her future wedding.
