Today we begin a three-week look at the last three parables (=stories about the Kingdom of heaven) that Jesus taught, possibly the day before He was crucified. All three look forward in time to the day when Jesus will “come again in glory to judge the living and the dead” (as we say in the Apostles’ Creed), and all three encourage us to be ready for that event. Today’s theme is Being Ready.
