Strange analogy. I don’t think it has anything to do with “God offering opportunities”. God gives us a way to escape His judgment and wrath. I guess, from that standpoint, that’s an opportunity, but too many times the term “opportunity” (at least in this society) is associated with some financial wealth building concept. God offers ever lasting life for those who repent and put their faith in Christ.

So true. Too many times people equate opportunity with the "Bling". We as Christians should be seeking opportunities to secure our treasures that are waiting in heaven. Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: And as the author of the commentary stated in the last sentence...

However, only God delivers opportunities of lasting value.
