"Waiting" Matthew 25:1-13 (Matthew: The Parables of the King)

Jesus again returns to the wedding analogy to describe what the Kingdom will be like in that day.  Similar to previous wedding parables in which some are welcome in and others are not is the need to dispel any idea of a capricious or demanding God.  Instead, we see the opportunity to wait in submission to the Bridegroom's timeline or to impose our own limits on what we're willing to put up with and by virtue submit to ourselves instead of to Him. The big idea is that He invites us to wait in submission, within the context of community for something that is worth waiting for.
