Why Spoil It By Talking? (Luke 17)

In the early 1980's, the Jets and Dolphins played a regular season game that came to be dubbed the "Silent Bowl." The game got that name because NBC used no announcers. They decided that the game should speak for itself. I don't know if it worked for football. But I think it works for Luke 17:7-10. I think every Christian needs this passage as a reminder of what our attitude should be as we serve the Lord:

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’? 8 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’? 9 Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? 10 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.’ (ESV at www.esv.org)

I hope I can serve with that type of attitude. I hope I can always remember that I am only an unworthy servant who is just doing my duty.
