The Master’s Expectations – No time off, no extra help, no thanks deserved. (7-9)Work for Jesus as if you were His only servant! Sometimes we think we are the only ones working for Jesus! It does not matter what other Christians are doing for Jesus. It does not matter what other Christians are not doing for Jesus. Serve for an audience of One.
JOB DESCRIPTION FOR A SERVANT – THE PARABLE OF THE UNWORTHY SLAVE – LUKE 17:7-10 (PART 2)
Tucked away in Luke’s Gospel is the Parable of the Unworthy Slave. It is one of the most enigmatic in all the Gospels.In the Middle East in the first century, the traditional roles of masters and slaves were well-defined. Dependency and inequality were assumed. For a master to serve his own servants was unheard of! In our age of a 40 hour work week, labor unions, paid time off, and time and a half for overtime, this parable seems distant and unfair. On the surface, it wears a harsh frown and seems heartless. The master appears to be a slave-driver, ungracious and unmerciful.
