An essay by B.B. Warfield
This past Sunday we reflected on the emotional life of Christ. In particular, we reflected on Christ’s compassion, anger, joy, and tears. In his sermon, Keith mentioned an important essay by B. B. Warfield which discusses the nature and importance of Christ’s emotions.
“As we survey the emotional life of our Lord as depicted by the Evangelists, therefore, let us not permit it to slip out of sight, that we are not only observing the proofs of the truth of his humanity, and not merely regarding the most perfect example of a human life which is afforded by history, but are contemplating the atoning work of the Saviour in its fundamental elements. The cup which he drank to its bitter dregs was not his cup but our cup; and he needed to drink it only because he was set upon our salvation.”
