Many of us have excuses, Moses had the excuse of speech:
Exodus 4:10 NIV
Moses said to the LORD, "Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue."
In the parable the one talent man excuses himself saying that the master was a cunning man. He tries to excuse himself from his responsibility by telling that resources provided to him was insufficient and its unequal.
Lets consider our life, what is the greatest gift that we ever got or can ever get. We do not know about ourselves than the one who created us knows, because he created us with a purpose, he know it from the beginning, even before our birth and he know our future even after our death.
When we see people who suffer in hunger, we try to feed them, that which satisfy his hunger. Saving a soul is feeding the hunger for eternal life, its not by our own strength or power, but by the power of resurrected Christ. Who gave his life, his position for us.
What could satisfy our life than serving him, what can we be able to do? nothing other than loving him. He redefines the term Love, that which we misuse for everything. But we know he loves us not because of what we do or what we are. "Yet when we were sinners, Christ loved us". His Love transforms us, he forgave us when we do not know what we were doing. He does not give up on us.
We need to love him in return, he said follow me, deny yourself, Love me more than anything or anybody. But for his Love we should understand and obey and love him, even before he asks us to. Any relationship in this world could be compared, but his is the highest, greatest, amazing and wonderful. He listens and cares when everybody leaves, he said "I will never leave you, nor forsake you".
Romans 5:7 NIV
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.
Jesus said to the person who had one talent, at least you could have invested that in the Bank, So that when I come I could have got the interest. But this man wasted his talent, Sometime talent represent life, A life that is not pleasing God is a life that is wasted. Jesus said what is success, wise, wisdom, life... Matthew 16:26 NIV
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
Luke 12:15 NIV
Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions."
