Torches Lighted
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.…


I. The soul NEEDS LIGHT. The fact that Christ died to save sinners is the only torch that can scatter the soul's gloom.

II. The soul needs a MOVEABLE light. These torches are in motion. The gospel can be taken anywhere.

III. No MAN HAS ANY LIGHT TO SPARE.

IV. Some people apply for the light WHEN IT IS TOO LATE.
