Temporary Grace
Matthew 25:1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.…


The grace of temporaries is good of its kind, but must not be rested in. 'Tis like priming the post, to make it receptive of other colours, 'tis an inchoate, imperfect thing.

(T. Manton.)
