Jesus: Sy belewing en verwerking van sy emosies

Abstract

Jesus: How He experiences emotions and deals with them
Emotions are experienced by every human being. Decisions and actions are inevitably influenced by these emotions. Despite possible perceptions about Jesus, He became a human amongst fellow men, experiencing and dealing with emotions in an exemplary way. These emotions, as depicted by Matthew are dealt with. His dismay, despondency and intense frustration; his anger which is repeatedly and sharply vented, as well as his love and compassion which are displayed by his words, and healings. In dealing with his intensely experienced emotions Jesus not only demonstrates that these emotions are inevitably part of human existence, but becomes the time role model for the believer regarding his handling of emotions.
