Ask yourself the question: What should be our attitude about the service we render to God?

In the first verse of Luke 17:5-10, the disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith. In return Jesus gave them a parable of the Unprofitable (or Unworthy) Servant.

Luke 17:7-10 "But who among you has a servant who drives a plow or who tends to sheep, and if he would come from the field, would say to him at once, 'Go on; recline for supper'?" But he says to him, 'Prepare for me something to eat and put on your apron to serve me until I shall have eaten and have drunk; after this you also will eat and drink.' Does that servant receive his thanks because he did the thing that he was commanded? I think not. So also you, whenever you have done all those things that were commanded you, you should say, 'We are unprofitable servants, because we have done that which we were obligated to do.' "

What is the meaning of this parable? Jesus shared this parable with His despises and it is given to us today to remove any idea of earning our salvation by our own merits. After everything we do, we are still "unprofitable servants".
