“Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”
The wonderful thing is, that although a man ought not to consider himself worthy of consolation, God is such a good master, that he welcomes his servant when he comes in from the field, saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:21).
Unworthy of consolation
I am praising God today!
Jesus says (in Luke 17:7–10):
The wonderful thing is, that although a man ought not to consider himself worthy of consolation, God is such a good master, that he welcomes his servant when he comes in from the field, saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:21).
