Mat 25:8-9 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : The foolish ones said to the wise, “Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.” When the moment of truth came, they saw that they were not ready. They tried to borrow from others, but spiritual readiness cannot be borrowed or shared at the last minute.

‏ Matthew 25:8-9

v. 8: The foolish ones said to the wise, “Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.” When the moment of truth came, they saw that they were not ready. They tried to borrow from others, but spiritual readiness cannot be borrowed or shared at the last minute.

v. 9: The wise virgins replied, “No, there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.” This shows that everyone is responsible for their own preparation and relationship with Jesus.
