When Hezekiah showed the Babylonian envoys “all that was in his house,” he thought he was showing his strength. In reality, all he proved was how naive he was to think that same action wouldn’t come back to bite him.
Yet we don’t need storehouses to do the same, do we? That’s what social media is for! But where’s the line between us sharing our excitement for something and it coming off as pride — the very thing that Hezekiah was guilty of?
Unfortunately, only you know that line, but maybe Hezekiah’s story can help us figure it out.

CloseWhile all of Jesus' statements on the Cross were noteworthy, one is most representative of His heart for humanity: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." It shows the depth of God's love in addition to His compassion for those we would consider His enemies. But have you ever stopped to think who the "they" is in that passage? While most people would say it was either the Jews or the Romans (and they would be right), it could also be applied to ourselves. When we sin, we don't always understand the real impact of what we're doing. We need to. It's what put Jesus on the cross to begin with.
