In Part 2 of the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Flasks), I talked about the torches the attendants prepared.

But getting a torch wasn’t enough.

The wise brought extra oil with them so they could keep their torches lit.

Interestingly, some scholars believe the oil in this parable represents the Holy Spirit.

Scripture tells us that when we accept Christ, we receive the Holy Spirit as a gift and a deposit of what’s to come.

So, in my mind, if the oil represents the Spirit, then all ten Flasks must have started with SOME oil.

What separated the wise from the foolish was whether they wanted MORE and pursued it. More of the Spirit. More oil. Right?

Maybe...
