Ready or Not: The Truth About Jesus’ Return
Jesus is coming back.
Not someday… but soon.
And according to Matthew 25, not everyone who thinks they’re ready actually will be.
In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, we walk through the parable of the ten virgins—five wise, five foolish—and uncover what it really means to be prepared for the return of Christ. This is more than a Bible story… it’s a warning.
Because the difference between the wise and the foolish wasn’t where they stood…
It was what they carried.
👉 The oil matters.
👉 The preparation matters.
👉 And the time to get ready is now.
If you’ve ever asked yourself:
“Am I actually ready?”
“What does it mean to be spiritually prepared?”
“Why did I get saved in the first place?”
This episode will challenge you to examine your life through an eternal lens—and not just a temporary one.
