The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "The Emotional Life of Our LORD" by B.B. Warfield

It belongs to the truth of our Lord’s humanity, that he was subject to all sinless human emotions.l In the accounts which the Evangelists give us of the crowded activities which filled the few years of his ministry, the play of a great variety of emotions is depicted. It has nevertheless not proved easy to form a universally acceptable conception of our Lord’s emotional life. Not only has the mystery of the Incarnation entered in as a disturbing factor, the effect of the divine nature on the movements of the human soul brought into personal union with it has been variously estimated. Differences have arisen also as to how far there may be attributed to a perfect human nature movements known to us only as passions of sinful beings.

We have had recent discussions on this topic on the Discussion Board and so this should prove to be of great interest to many. Warfield goes into great depth in his investigation of the emotional life of the Lord Jesus Christ, bringing to bear the biblical record and the conclusions reached by many scholars around the world. This article also includes a lengthy set of footnotes which will prove to helpful for the more academic oriented.
