Matthew 25:8-9 ESV
And the foolish said to the wise, ‘ Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. ’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘ Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves. ’
The lamps had been trimmed and made ready, but there was something missing in the lamps of the foolish. The oil had not been replenished as they had waited. Their lamps were lit, but about to go out. The foolish recognized their situation and tried to solve the problem at the last minute.
The wise were not able to help the foolish. Each person will stand alone before The Lord, whether they have been foolish or wise. What one person has done will not save another. They can help bring a person to The Lord, but the relationship between any person and The Lord will be judged on its own.
Luke 8:18
Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”
