In His life here on earth, Jesus displayed many earthly emotions. Focusing on myself, as I try to follow His practices, it is helpful to know some of the feelings I have were displayed by Jesus. Regarding his physical body, He was tired, thirsty, and hungry. To know that he grew angry, became frustrated, felt sorrow, and even was indignant gives me great comfort. The depth of the emotions of God are difficult to fathom, but they are nevertheless there. Jesus was touched by what he saw surrounding Lazarus' death. He already knew that He would raise him, but the family and mourners didn't. To observe the pain about the lose of His friend had an observable effect on Him, even to tears, "When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, and said, “Where have you laid him?” They told him, “Lord, come and see.” Jesus wept." John 11:33-35 (ISV)
