Commentary on Matthew 25:4

Theological / Devotional

The wise. The wise virgins of the parable represent those Christians who understand, appreciate, and avail themselves of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. “Wise” indeed are Christians today who welcome the Holy Spirit into their lives and cooperate with Him in His appointed task (see John 14:16, 17; John 16:7-15).

Vessels. Or, “receptacles,” in this case, flagons or flasks for oil. These receptacles were for the reserve supply.
