Jesus our Lord had deep religious affections as well. He kept them for God and man.
Let's take a look at a few.
John 2:17. The zeal for the Lord and his house consumes him. This is an emotional episode for Jesus. He cares so deeply for God, that seeing moneychangers hanging around the temple causes him to overturn tables, scream, and shout. Zeal drove him to this.
Mark 3:5. He grieved at sin hardening man's heart.
He wept, WEPT, for Jerusalem. Luke 19:41-42
His compassions for people ran deep. Matt. 15:32 (he even was worried about people fainting from hunger), Luke 7:13, Matt. 9:36, Matt. 14:14, and Mark 6:34. His compassion runs very deep.
When I was thinking about all this, I thought, didn't Jesus do great things. Look how compassionate he was to those people back then. But then I realized that we serve a Living God and a Risen Christ. His emotions still run deep. He did not just care way back when. He is alive today and he still cares for us. He is still with us. He still cares for us.
