Useless servants we are

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The parable of the useless servants in Luke 17:7-10 teaches about the absolute lordship of God and our attitude of total performance and submission to His will. Jesus uses hyperbole to illustrate this deep spiritual principle and contrasts the harsh and demanding attitude of the boss in the parable with the availability of the Heavenly Father to attend to our requests. We are nothing before God's greatness and should have an attitude of humility and recognition of our true state. This is important in our Christian life and in our prayer life before the Lord.

I want to talk about a well-known parable, the parable of the useless servants. We are all useless servants according to the parable that I want to develop, but also with a clarification: Although we are useless servants, God treats us as favorite friends, special friends, and that is what the subject of our meditation is going to be about.

Let me first read this parable, it is found in Saint Luke chapter 17 verses 7 to 10, and this parable says this way: "Who of you having a servant who plows or pastures cattle, when he comes back from the field then says to him: pass Would you rather say to him: prepare my dinner, dress yourself and serve me until I have eaten and drunk, and after that you say to him: eat and drink yourself? Do you thank the servant because he did what he knows? I had sent him? I think not. "
