Look at verses 45-51. What can we learn from the example of the "faithful and wise" servant about what to do until Jesus' coming? Why might someone become like the "wicked" servant in Jesus' parable? How can we be good and faithful servants rather than wicked servants of Jesus?  

Look at verses 1-13. How were the foolish virgins different from the wise? Why did the foolish virgins run into trouble? What does this teach us about what it means to "keep watch" for Jesus' coming?
