Mark 13:32
If only more Christians would keep this verse in mind. No one knows when the end will come except the Father. Why, then, do human beings try to predict it? Speculating on it is really just a waste of time that accomplishes nothing except frightening people. What we really need to focus on is that it will happen, not when it will happen. We need to do what matters, to bring God's Word to others, live good lives, and do good things in preparation for that unknown hour.

"Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
The Lord has taken away the judgments against you,
he has cast out your enemies.
The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
you shall fear evil no more.
On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear, O Zion;
let not your hands grow weak.
The Lord your God is in your midst,
a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
he will renew you in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing
as on a day of festival.
“I will remove disasterd from you,
so that you will not bear reproach for it.
Behold, at that time I will deal
with all your oppressors.
And I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change their shame into praise
and renown in all the earth."
- Zephaniah 3:14-19

I like Matthew 25. It tells us just how important it is to do good works. For the Parable of the Talents, the NAB's footnotes say that it shows how it is good to use your gifts faithfully, and bad to not use them lazily. Matthew 25:31-46 is a wonderful example of how when we do good things to others, we are serving the Lord Himself, and when we neglect others, we are neglecting Him. Help others, serve Him!
