. . . We have done that which is our duty to do” (Luke 17:10).

I’m not going to try to give the full Scriptural background for this verse since I’m applying it in a very specific way. I will just say that this is something Jesus said to His disciples in a discussion about faith. You can read the entire chapter at Bible Hub.
This verse originally came to mind as I was congratulating myself on how much work I was doing to prepare for an upcoming Cherry Creek Chorale concert, which included the Mozart Requiem. (I’ve since finished a book on this wonderful work; you may purchase it here or here.) I always struggle with learning new music, especially the difficult stuff (of course).
