Emotions & the Heart

God created us as emotional beings. He has given each of us the capacity to feel deeply. Joy. Sadness. Anger. Compassion.

When we can better process our powerful emotions, we can start to understand how He will use them for His purpose and His good.

Jesus experienced emotions. He even wept. It’s the shortest sentence in the Bible but it reveals so much about who Jesus was. He was not aloof, or distant from the people He encountered. He was present. He wept. He felt…deeply.

The Bible shows us many examples of Jesus’s emotions: love, compassion, righteous anger, sadness, and more.

In this study, we’ll look at how Jesus processed emotions and how following His example can help us see how our own emotions can be used to fulfill God’s purpose in our lives and bring Him glory.
