Luke 17:10
So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you say, "We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done."
One of the things I can't stand is when an athlete does something, like scores a touchdown, and then does some kind of showy strut because of the thing he just did. Isn't that what he's paid the huge salary to do? He did his job by scoring or making a big play. Why is that such a big deal?
As a believer in Jesus my life is no longer my own. I have been bought with a price and now my life is His to control and command. I deserve no acolades for doing what I ought as one of Christ's followers. In fact, there is so much I should do that I don't. If anything I deserve harsh treatment because of my many failures. But He is gracious and rich in mercy. I have an eternal hope which I don't deserve bought at a price I could never pay. I am an unworthy slave.
