"Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’ ”" (Luke 17:10)
Duty Fulfills No Debt
This parable crushes spiritual pride. A servant doesn't expect special praise for simply doing his job. Similarly, our obedience to God is not a favor we do for Him; it is our basic obligation as His creation.
We can never put God in our debt. No matter how much we serve, we are still recipients of His grace.
Key Lesson: Obedience is expected, not exceptional. We serve God out of love and duty, not to earn extra credit.
