Today i'm going to tell you a story about a wedding and it's 10 bride's maids
i love weddings one day i want to get married too
i'm sure you will freckles now let's begin with the story once there was a big wedding the wedding
was so big that there were 10 bridesmaids who were all helping the bride to get ready
weddings in those times used to happen at night the ritual was that the groom would come at night
and call out for his prize the bridesmaids would then hold up their lamps so that the bride and the
groom could see each other and the groom would be so happy to see his beautiful prime all the
invited guests had lamps in their hands and they would hold up these lamps so that everyone could
walk down the streets all the way to the groom's house then all the guests would get together dance
sing and make merry to celebrate the bride and groom's matrimony in jesus's parable the ten
bridesmaids were helping the bride to get ready there were five bridesmaids who were very wise
they knew the groom often would wait for a long time before he came to get the bride
so the five wise bridesmaids brought extra oil for their lamps so that they would have enough oil for
the lamps to burn even if the groom was late to come in the night on the other hand the other
five bridesmaids didn't think of any of this and so did not bring any extra oils for their lamps
the 10 bridesmaids finally got the bride ready and waited for the groom to come
they kept their lamps lit so that they were ready whenever the groom came minutes and hours went by
but the groom did not come the bride and the bridesmaids fell asleep waiting for the groom
the groom finally came and called out for his bride quite late at night the bride and
the bridesmaids woke and started fixing their lamps to make them nice and bright
as they started fixing their lamps the five foolish bridesmaids realized
that their lamps had run out of oil and the lamp had burned out they asked for some oil from the
five wise girls who were carrying extra but there wasn't enough so the five foolish bridesmaids went
out to look for some oil and missed out on going out with the bride to meet the groom
the wise bridesmaids and other invited guests arrived at the groom's house and
began with the celebrations the guards shut the door thinking that everyone had arrived
and so that no strangers could come in and disturb the wedding when the foolish
bridesmaids came they were not allowed inside the wedding the guards didn't even know who they were
so jesus wanted to teach his followers through this parable that no one of us
knows exactly the day and the time when jesus is going to come back hence we should always
love and obey god so that everyone is ready whenever he comes so are you children ready
oh yes we are i am so ready i always obey god and i love him with all my heart be to me three
the holy tales olivia was a young girl who lived with her mother
father and her little younger brother one day olivier's mother called for her olivia
please go and get some nice apples from the orchard i am thinking of making some apple
stew for your brother olivia loved going to the orchard so she went
olivia entered the orchard and looked at the beautiful apple trees filled with succulent
red apples she walked through the orchard with a basket and stopped under an apple tree she looked
up and saw the apples in this tree did not look very pleasing they were dark in color not very big
some even had dark spots on them as if they were smashed some were pecked on by birds
these apples do not look nice at all let me go and check another tree
so she ignored the first tree and walked right ahead then she stopped under another tree which
had bright red shiny apples they were smooth and looked very pretty wow these apples are so
so much better than the ones i saw earlier i am going to take apples from here olivia picked out
the apples which she thought were the best ones the big and round and the shiny ones she couldn't
wait to take them back home and eat them with a basket full of apples happily she went home
look mom i've got such nice looking apples
her mother looked at the apples but did not say anything
she got a knife from the kitchen and cut one apple to olivia's surprise the apple was rotten to the
core how could this happen they are such nice looking apples how can they be rotten
from within olivia's mother took another apple and cut it open this too was rotten just like
the other one olivia was very disappointed her mother picked her up on her lap and said olivia
let me tell you one thing there are some things which look very nice and beautiful from outside
but that's only skin deep their goodness does not lie from within
the apples you thought were rotten from outside were probably the ones which were fresh and nice
from inside so you've got to learn to recognize something or someone's goodness from inside
so what is the moral of the story that we should never judge a book by its cover
and that god wants us to go deeper inside to understand someone's goodness
and god does not want us to judge someone superficially excellent
the holy tales i am going to tell you the parable of the unforgiving servant
one day peter one of jesus's disciples came to jesus and asked him
lord how many times should i forgive someone when they do or say something wrong to me
jesus knew that everyone should learn to forgive someone if they are sorry for what they have done
instead of saying always jesus said 77 times peter was confused so
jesus decided to tell him a story which would help peter understand better how important it is
to forgive someone when they have realized their mistake and are sorry for their behavior
jesus told peter the story of a very rich king the king had many servants who worked for him
some of them looked after his treasury and were in charge of the other servants
one day the king decided to test one of his servants who was looking after his
money he wanted to see if he was doing his job perfectly so the king went to check his treasury
when he checked he saw that the servant had not paid the bills instead had borrowed the money
for his personal use the amount of money that the servant had taken was not a small amount
the servant was in huge debt so the king called for the servant i know that you have taken money
from the treasury without asking me you have committed a crime for which you will be punished
i will sell your family and you as slaves and take back the money that you have taken
the servant was very upset he knew that if his family and he were sold as slaves they
all would have to live in different places they might not be able to see one another ever again
so the servant begged and pleaded for forgiveness the king felt sorry for the servant
he decided to forgive him he even told the servant that he did not have to give back the money to him
as soon as the servant left the court he met another servant who owed him some money a very
small amount even though the king was nice to him the servant grabbed hold of the other servant he
started shouting at him give me back the money you owe me or else i will throw you into the prison
people saw the servant treating the other man this way and went and told the king
the king was very very angry he thought to himself i forgave him a huge debt
but he could not forgive another man who owes him a small amount of money he called for the servant
once again and threw him into prison so did your children understand the meaning of the story
yes the story means that god always forgives us for all the wrong things we do to him now
he wants us to forgive those who do one to us well done tubby that's exactly the meaning of the story
i hope you have understood the story too gumbo and freckles oh yes we have all right then hope you
enjoyed and understood the story too we'll be back soon bye bye to watch more videos please subscribe
