Piper on Humility

In John 13 Jesus gives His disciples a lesson in humility.  What exactly is humility and why is it so important to a Christian?  Why is humility so admired but so lacking in Christians?  Listen to John Piper talk about humility.
It appears that the video clip that I put up is no longer available.  John Piper says that the sense of entitlement is the opposite of humility.  He reminds us that we desire hell (that is what we are entitled to) but by God's grace we are given heaven.  If you have a sense of entitlement or you insist on your rights regardless of the circumstance then you cannot claim to be humble.
Sorry about the missing video clip.
