The wise and foolish ten virgins

Matthew 25:1-13
The parable of the ten virgins. Wise virgins took oil in jars along with their lamps. Foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.
After the bridge groom arrived, the door was shut. There is not chance to enter the kingdom of heaven to enjoy the glory of heaven.
Keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour of the day.
The wise and foolish girls. This story makes the same point, stressing that one day time will run out. Preparedness is an individual thing. It cannot be borrowed from someone else.
Why?
Many are following Jesus but only a few are chosen.
Watch and prepare ourselves Jesus will come today. So let us be a wise servant, do what we should do. Follow the commandments: love the Lord with all my heart, all my mind and all my strength, and love my neighbor as myself.
Repent and turn to the Lord, when the day comes there is not any chance to enter the kingdom of heaven.
How?
Prepare myself and waiting for the day to come. Not one know when is the day.
