So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, "We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done."

 -- JESUS

(LUKE 17:10, NASB)

"With these words, Jesus was not rendering service as meaningless or useless, nor was he doing away with rewards. He was attacking unwarranted self-esteem and spiritual pride -- perhaps such as many of the religious leaders were exhibiting, or what the disciples themselves might be tempted to fall into as they would seek to serve God. Jesus’ followers focus their eyes on God with their goal only to serve and please him. They don’t work for recognition or rewards or even for God to praise them for their hard work. They understand that their duty is to serve the Master." Life Application Bible Commentary on the New Testament
