We all have feelings. Sometimes we are sad, and sometimes we are happy. When a friend gets into trouble, we feel sorry for him or her and pray for them or try to help in any way possible. When the weather is fair, we feel good, but when it is bad, we are often gloomy. Reports that come to our ears affect our feelings, as well as what happens to us each day. Do you think that the Lord Jesus had feelings? He was a real man on earth and felt things perfectly. After a very long walk, would you not feel tired? So did He. If you didn’t eat for many days, wouldn’t you be hungry? So was He. If good news came, you would be happy. So was He. Should you be in the midst of all kinds of sin and suffering, you would feel sorrowful. So did our Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible often describes how the Lord Jesus felt on different occasions, revealing His real humanity. There is this difference. We may feel tempted to sin, but not the Lord, because He was holy and could not sin. Let us pray that the feelings we have would be pleasing to God at all times and that the meditation of our heart would be acceptable in His sight (Psalm 19:14).
