The Bride
Paul is speaking with the Corinthian Church; he was saying that they were included as the Bride of Christ. The bride of Christ is CHRISTIANS.
Marriage Symbolism
Vs 1 Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five were wise and five were foolish.
Engagement
Jesus is presenting a parable to help people understand what this relationship is like. It’s like preparing for a WEDDING You have an engagement and then the marriage ceremony.
Just like a groom would go to prepare a place for his bride in ancient Israel, so Christ is preparing a place for us

Preparing for a Wedding
Jesus used wedding TERMINOLOGY here. In an ancient Jewish wedding, the groom would build a room on the side of his parent’s home and when it was ready, he would return for his bride.
He said: If I go, I will come AGAIN for you.

When Jesus comes, he’s going to SURPRISE us. No one knows the day or the hour.
Are you Ready?
Jesus has asked you to be His bride. Have you accepted His offer?
Waiting Period
During this waiting period, some have lost their love for the Lord.
They think He has taken too long, and they FALL AWAY.

Marriage
Christ came to sanctify and cleanse us through His sacrifice on the cross. But after salvation, we are to KEEP ourselves clean. How? vs 26 through the washing of the water of the WORD.
The Word
The Word is what keeps us clean. You have to be in the Word to keep your mind and soul clean.
The Word will convict us, challenge us, discipline us, exhort us, and encourage us.
Ready
Just as a bride keeps herself for her husband, we are to keep ourselves for the Lord.
We are to be faithful to Him. Spot or wrinkle is symbolic of the bride’s DRESS.

Wedding Gown
The wedding gown we will be wearing will be stunning. Clean and bright of fine linen and vs 8 tells us what the linen is: The righteous ACTS of the saints.
Our gown will be a SUPERNATURAL covering, shining, illuminated.
We have to be diligent about remaining clean. We have to STAY in the Word.
Our righteous acts are our covering.
Our righteous acts are our covering.
This is serious. “IF” we overcome. “IF” we remain faithful. “IF” we remain clean, the Lord will NOT erase our name from the Book of Life.
Is it possible that your name has been erased from the book of life?
Jesus is coming back for a Bride without spot or wrinkle.
He will rapture the Church and we will go and meet the Groom, Jesus where we will celebrate and be married, unified with Christ forever and forever.
Are you included in that number?
Are you ready to meet the Lord?
