Oil in jars the scriptures? In the parable the Son of Man told, it is important to carry your oil along with your lamp and to have the oil not only in the lamp itself but also stored in a separate jar that can be used to top up the lamp and so keep it burning over the entire length of the potentially long wait till He returns for His Great Wedding with His Bride. This long wait and this lamp and oil is a picture of how to get and remain prepared. It is known we (disciples of this Son of Man) have to remain in Him by keeping His words in us. In us means both in each inner mind and memory and corporately among the groups and overall group of disciples. So how to keep a separate supply too of His words and other words of the Spirit and awakened spirits of disciples given in His name? Writing them down.
