The New Life in Christ: Say, “We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!” Luke 17:10.

“Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here at once and take your place at the table’?

Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat or drink’?

Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? Luke 17:7-9.

Why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk? The God has glorified his servant… And by faith in his name, his name itself has made this man strong, whom you see and know; and the faith that is through Jesus has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you. Acts 3:3-16.

Amen.
