"And which of you,having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down o eat'?"
When you have a job or have something your required to do, are you thanked or rewarded by your superior for doing your job? unfortunately we usually do. Why should we expect praise from man, when Jesus expected nothing in return for His' sacrifice and service on this earth. Jesus uses this parable as an example. He asks who actually gives his' servant greater treatment because he completes his work. We are called to be servants and not seek recognition, which God will give us rewards for our unseen works in Heaven.
In applying this to my life today I will not seek recognition for doing the work I am expected to complete, and continue to do above and beyond for the Lord.
