The ten virgins were asked to keep their lamps filled with oil at all times. This artwork represents the five who were wise and prepared to meet the bridegroom with joy. This parable—with its teachings about maintaining the spiritual oil of obedience, testimony, and faith—helps us remember to keep our lamps filled with oil.
