Please go and read the passage!
Hm. Rather interesting bit here. Towards the end of this passage (before the part about the men healed of leprosy) there is a part about a master and servant. There is a situation portrayed to show the relationship between them. Jesus then says that like that servant, when we obey God we should simply be saying “We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.” It sounds harsh and mean, but isn’t meant to. It’s meant, I think, to remind us of where we stand with God. Often I feel we give ourselves far more status then we deserve. We almost begin to think of ourselves as equal with Him, and that is exceptionally dangerous. We don’t deserve anything from God – He owes us nothing. If anything we owe Him a debt we can never pay back. So, as servants, we should do all we can to live in obedience to Him, remembering we do it not to be rewarded, but merely because it is what we should be doing.
That's all! God bless! Shalom!
