What does the Bible say about the unprofitable servant?

Answered in 1 source

The unprofitable servant illustrates our duty to serve God without expectation of reward, acknowledging that we have not earned anything by our works.

In Luke 17:6-10, Jesus teaches about the nature of servanthood through the parable of the unprofitable servant. The servant is portrayed as someone who fulfills their obligation without expecting gratitude or rewards from their master. This parable underscores that even after diligently serving God, we must recognize that we have only done what was our duty. The essence of Christian service lies in understanding that it is a response to God’s grace rather than an attempt to earn His favor through works.
