Uzziah and Entitlement

Pride, self-pity, entitlement, and anger. These are emotions and actions that many of us struggle with.  By listening to the story of King Uzziah, as well as the prophet Isaiah, we see a contrast between the entitlement of the King and the humility of the Prophet.  And it is Jesus who has the power to show us what a life of humility looks like- He who did not feel equality with God was something to be grasped- He humbled Himself and became obedient to death on a cross.
