Summary
Entitlement is an issue in our texts and in our world. The story of Lazarus, the story of Pastor Jehu Jones, Jr, (first Lutheran pastor of African descent in the country), and the story of St. Francis of Assisi, each teach us something about the cost of entitlement and, within the American church, the cost of white privilege and white supremacy.
