In this episode we discuss Jesus’ most sobering teachings—the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25)—and reflect on what it really means to live prepared for the return of Christ.

We also connect this parable to the Book of Revelation, where Jesus is portrayed as the Bridegroom returning for His Bride (Revelation 19). The conversation explores what it means to wait well, to live faithfully, and to be ready—not just in word, but in a life that bears real spiritual fruit.

One of the most profound moments in this episode is the emotional weight behind Jesus’ words: "I never knew you." What does it mean for people who looked the part—who served, who sat in our pews—but weren’t truly known by Him?
