Bridge to “The Oil of Readiness”:

The oil of the Spirit keeps us burning while we wait for the return of the King. The water speaks of initial filling — salvation. Oil speaks of continual fueling — sanctification.

You may have been washed once, but if your lamp runs dry, you’ll miss the moment. Our story this morning is about remaining filled with oil; the ongoing presence of the Spirit keeps the light of salvation alive.

The Oil of readiness is often, out of necessity, the oil of waiting. Jesus tells the story about ten virgins, ten bridesmaids waiting for the arrival of the Bridegroom.

• Five were wise. Five were foolish.

• They all had lamps. They all had light.

• But not all had oil — when it mattered the most.

The parable is simple yet piercing: Some started well — but not all stayed ready. The difference wasn’t talent, status, or opportunity. The difference was oil.

Scripture Reference:

Matthew 25:1-13

Today — is about the woman at the well experiencing His living waters…

Summary of the scripture…

Most of you would be familiar with this story, so I won’t read the entire chapter, I’ll summarize it.

In John 4, Jesus sits by Jacob’s well, tired, thirsty, and waiting. A Samaritan woman approaches, carrying an empty jar and not just to draw water; because symbolically she’s not just carrying an empty jar, she’s carrying empty life.

Jesus turns that ordinary moment of thirst into a divine encounter. In their conversation, He exposes her emptiness not to condemn her, but to awaken her to her true need, living water that only He can give.
