We all have a great opportunity


Matthew 25:14-30
14  “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants [a]  and entrusted to them his property.  15  To one he gave
five talents, [b]  to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.  16  He who had received the five talents went at once
and traded with them, and he made five talents more.  17  So also he who had the two talents made two talents more.  18  But he who had received the
one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.  19  Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts
with them.  20  And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents;
here, I have made five talents more.’  21  His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. [c]  You have been faithful over a little; I will set
you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’  22  And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two
talents; here, I have made two talents more.’  23  His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will
set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’  24  He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a
hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed,  25  so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the
ground. Here, you have what is yours.’  26  But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not
sown and gather where I scattered no seed?  27  Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have
received what was my own with interest.  28  So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.  29  For to everyone who has will more
be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.  30  And cast the worthless servant into
the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Don't be a fool


Matthew 25:26
26  But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather
where I scattered no seed?

Don't be distracted by the wrong things


Matthew 25:21,23
21  His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. [a]  You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of
your master.’
23  His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your
master.’
