Commentary on Matthew 25:9

Theological / Devotional

Buy for yourselves. To have given the foolish virgins sufficient oil for the occasion would have left the wise virgins without any. The latter were not selfish. Character is not transferable. One Christian cannot do for another that which he must do for himself in preparation for the crisis that lies ahead.
