37. “The Emotional Life of Our Lord” by B.B. Warfield

Most would agree that Christ had emotions, but they have not given a great deal of thought to the significance of Christ’s emotional life. By neglecting to reflect on the Lord’s emotional life, we fail to think deeply about what it means that the Son of God became a true human being for our sakes. Our understanding of the significance of the incarnation itself is at stake. 

Join us as we discuss B.B. Warfield’s excellent book, The Emotional Life of Our Lord. We talk about some common errors we make when thinking about Christ’s emotions, what we can learn from the emotional life of Christ, and what this means for our own emotions.
