Parable of the unworthy servants
The article explores the parable of the unworthy servants in Luke 17.7-10, stressing the importance of humility and gratitude in the life of the disciple. Jesus teaches that faithful service does not expect recognition from the master and that every ability is a gift from God. Obedience confers no rights, thus promoting an attitude of gratitude, not of entitlement.
Luke 17.7-10 (King James Version) :But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The workers hired at different hours
La parabole des ouvriers loués à différentes heures enseigne que la grâce de Dieu prime sur le mérite humain. Dans le Royaume, la générosité divine surpasse les logiques humaines, invitant à accueillir la bonté sans jalousie. Matthieu 20:1-16 illustre la souveraineté généreuse de Dieu.
Matthew 20.1-16 (King James Version) :For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org

The Heidelberg Disputation
The Heidelberg Disputation, held on 26 April 1518, was a major theological debate in which Martin Luther defended his theology of the cross against the Catholic theology of glory. He affirmed human inability to be justified by works and the need for grace alone through faith. A key event in the Protestant Reformation, this disputation profoundly influenced several reformers of the following generation.
