I think it means that those who had a greater opportunity to know the lord, and maybe even those who knew him but fell away and didn't repent, will suffer greater punishment than those who who had little opportunity to hear and  know about him. i'm not in the word as much as I should be, and I have basically stopped commenting on blogs because of hurtful responces back, but this is a good way to test my knowledge. Anyway, this is what it means to me. 

Crystal, you did very well for someone who admits to not reading the Bible as often as they should -something we all do.  yes! definately those of us, especially in America who have been given more opportunity to know the Lord will be called into greater account than those in other nations who do not have our resources.
