Humility vs. The Spirit of Entitlement

In this 7-minute clip, Randy Alcorn contrasts the humility of the sinful woman at Jesus' feet in Scripture with the spirit of entitlement present when we are out of touch with our sinfulness.

We are never grateful for what we think we deserve. On the contrary, we gripe and complain and think God and others are unfair if it doesn’t come to us. Thank God we DON’T get what we deserve. There’s a four letter word for it: Hell. Christ took upon Himself what He didn’t deserve, so that I would not have to get what I deserved. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
