What does it mean to be ready for Jesus’ return—not someday, but now? In Matthew 25:1–13, Jesus tells the parable of the ten bridesmaids to warn us against assuming there will always be more time. Pastor Tom Vang helps us see that readiness is not panic, performance, or religious activity. It is a life of daily trust in Jesus, endurance in ordinary faithfulness, and treasuring the King above his gifts. The world often imagines the apocalypse as hopeless, but Jesus gives us a better story: the King returns, evil loses, and the best days are ahead for those who know him and are known by him.
