Luke 17:8 “But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’?
At first glance you might think that the master is kind of inconsiderate, the servant has had a long day at work he comes in and the master says make me some food and get me some drink and then you can have some food and drink for yourself. Actually this is part of the servant’s duties and when put in that light it wouldn’t make sense for the master to be doing the job of a servant for a servant. The text doesn’t tell us the servant’s emotions, but you can be sure that he would have no right to be upset about having to do his regular duties and not being served.
Application-As a servant of Christ I shouldn’t expect to be treated like the master, I should act like a servant and not get upset when I get treated like one.
