The Foolish Girls

Children’s Lesson—No. 2

“The Foolish Girls”

A little girl who loves Bible stories often asks to hear about “the foolish girls,” as she calls them. You may read of them in Matt. 25: 1–13.
All these girls wanted to be ready for the wedding. They lighted lamps, but five started without oil enough to last through the night. Perhaps they were unwilling to spend their money to buy oil, or did not wish to go for it. Before they were ready, the door was shut.
(Illustrate this lesson with two lamps—one burning brightly, the other “going out.”)
Meaning of this parable. Verse 13.
How we feel when too late for the train, etc. The chance to get ready to meet Jesus can never, never come again when it is lost. No invitation to pray or work then.
Many will wish to seek Jesus when they can not find him. Prov. 1: 28–31. Time when they will seek—verse 27; Zeph. 1: 14–18.
This week of prayer is one more chance given us to pray that God will fit us for his work, and save us when he comes. Shall we not seek him now?
