1 | Is showing emotions a weakness? | John 11:35 | jaspradlin | 192520 | ||
Certainly not. Someone need only open their Bible to John and see many examples of Jesus showing emotion. John 2:13-21, Jesus shows anger and throws the money changers out of the temple. Then in John 11:35 Jesus cries at the death of his friend Lazarus. God made us as emotional beings. Jesus clearly displayed two emotions that many would consider a sign of weakness. Does anyone in this forum consider Jesus weak? Not likely. I think the importance lies in not letting your emotions rule you, but instead letting God's will be the deciding factor. | ||||||
2 | Is showing emotions a weakness? | John 11:35 | Hank | 192522 | ||
jaspradlin - I like your answer! It's balanced and well said. You make a good point in advocating that we not permit emotions to rule our lives while observing that God made us as persons with emotions. Without them we'd be about as interesting and exciting as the old wooden Indian that used to be displayed in front of cigar stores. :-) But I reveal my age by this remark about wooden Indians. The younger readers of this Forum won't know what on earth I'm talking about! Good to have you aboard. Welcome! --Hank | ||||||

Hi, Cheri - Well, I'm impressed, and somehow don't feel so old any more. :-) Kalijah sounds like a prophet, doesn't he? And didn't he used to work in King Solomon's mines? That'd make him a miner prophet, wouldn't it? Oh my, it's getting late and obviously old Hank needs some sleep! --Hank | ||||||
