B.B. WARFIELD, THE EMOTIONAL LIFE OF OUR LORD

From class readings for Theology of Human Nature (Coe and Saucy):

And yet it is noticeable that while they tore his heart and perhaps in the end, broke the bonds which bound his fluttering spirit to its tenement of clay, they never took the helm of life or overthrew either the judgment of his calm understanding or the completeness of his perfect trust in his Father.

. . .

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 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.

‘Nuff said.

This is what I need right now, to rest in my Father's hand. School pressures, internship pressures, sinus infection, and news of an impending termite tenting are conspiring against any possibility for restfulness in the near future.

I'M HERE...

Busy
Sick


Not a good combination...
