The Affections of Jesus
When we look at Jesus’ perfect life, sacrificial death, and miraculous resurrection, it’s easy to remember that he is fully God. It’s perhaps more difficult to remember that he was fully human, too. As fully human as you and I. What we feel, he felt. Through the same nervous system, the same skin, the same eyes and ears and hands and feet—Jesus Christ felt the things we feel, in the same way that we feel them.
God could have chosen to come to earth in power, but he chose to come in weakness. He chose to come as a vulnerable human being, so he could demonstrate the great and wonderful love of God in a way that vulnerable human beings might finally understand.
In the coming weeks, we will explore the affections of Jesus Christ. Where are the moments in scripture we see Jesus truly moved, in the most human sense of the word? Where did he weep, yell, yearn, grieve, rejoice? And most importantly, what do these moments teach us about the character of our God and his affection for us, his children?
Join us for this 6 week Lenten series, The Affections of Jesus, March 6 – April 10.
