Emotions - God's touch

     I just had an outburst with my uncle at his house today. I was very pissed off when he kept on nagging me over matter of his own. He told me to control my temper and should not lose it easily. He told me that we should control our temper as we are Christians.

     Well a question to ponder. Do Jesus shows His emotions to people around Him? He show it throughout His journey on earth. He show it when He healed a leper of the disease. It can be found in the Bible, Mark 1: 40 - 41 (NKJV)

40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean." 41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched our His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

     He also showed compassion in Luke 7 : 13. 

13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her. "Do not weep."

     Jesus also show His anger when He deals with people around Him. In Mark 3:5, 

5 And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. 

     The worst part of Jesus being angry stated in the Bible was shown in the book of John 2: 13 - 17.

13 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables. 16. And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!" 17 Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your has eaten."

     Jesus wept over Jerusalem. In Luke 19: 41 - 44, it was written:

41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."  

     The shortest Bible verse of all is John 11 : 35

35 Jesus wept

     Jesus also show joy when He thank God for all the blessing received. It is shown in Luke 10 : 21.

21 In that hour Jesus rejoice in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 

     Jesus show love too. This can be found in Mark 10 : 21

21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me."

     It can also be found in John 11 : 3.

3 Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick,"

     These are some of the emotions Jesus shown during His days on earth. The question is He showed His emotion. Are we showing any or are we just being a robot Christian to the world? Are we being real or fake? You ask yourself this. No one in this world is born perfect but everyone is tying to be perfect. Instead why not we just being real and truthful to ourselves? After all, truthful of our emotions is one part of how we are being healed by God. No one can touch us unless we allow God to do so. We allow God to touch us through our emotions. We cried when it was necessary to cry. To release all hurts and angers to God. We show happiness when we are happy. We show anger when we are angry. We show compassion when we are being kind to people surrounding us. Let God heal us through our emotions and not through our hardened heart. God bless.
