The Ten Virgins and the Evil Watchman. “A Revelation of the Heart”
Parables: The Evil Servant, The Ten Virgins
Presented at Harbor Church, Los Angeles, California
April 24, 1983
Scripture: Matthew 24:42-51, Matthew 25:1-13, Luke 12:41-48
Today’s episode brings us to the point in Jesus’ ministry when he was beginning to prepare his disciples for three aspects of the future:
1. Jesus’ upcoming crucifixion and resurrection,
2. How things will be during Christ’s absence from earth
3. How we should prepare ourselves and hold our hearts before him as we await Jesus’ return.
This is the eighth session of a 12-part series Dallas called “The Parabolic Teaching About Christ’s Kingdom by Christ Himself.” The main parables discussed are The Parable of the Evil Servant and the Parable of the Ten Virgins. You can dig deeper into Dallas’s teaching about these parables and the Parable of the Talents in chapter 7 of the book that is based on this parables series, The Scandal of the Kingdom.https://dwillard.org/resources/books/the-scandal-of-the-kingdom
Dallas mentioned the writing of G. Campbell Morgan in this session. We encourage you to look for Morgan’s books on the Parables and other New Testament topics.
The session outline Dallas distributed to the class gives the list of topics and scriptures covered throughout the series. He encouraged participants to read the scriptures for each week before coming to class. Download a copy here:
