People handle emotions differently. Some people are like Mr. Spock from Star Trek fame. He relied on logic and downplayed his emotions.
Some people are like the Hulk. At times his anger transforms him into a raging, uncontrollable beast.
Which is right? Are we to deny our emotions and stuff them down? Or are we to let our emotions have free reign and allow them to dominate us?
Neither.
There is a better way. Jesus did not deny his emotions. He felt a wide range of emotions. The gospels record him experiencing many different emotions such as joy, sorrow, anger, peace, loneliness, and compassion. But never did these emotions dominate him. Instead, he directed or controlled his emotions. He channeled them in a way that glorified God and helped others.
Emotions “Mr. Spock, the Hulk, and Jesus”
Key Verses: “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another” (Romans 12:15-6a).
In our series we will take these emotions one by one and see how we can live emotionally as Jesus did.
Our key passage for Sunday is Romans 12:15-16a, “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another.”

I remember a time in school when something that I attempted completely backfired. A group of us students were at a park goofing off. There were some large swings there and I jumped in one. I swung as high as I could. I decided I would back flip out of the swing to impress the girls.
Well, I did it but I miscalculated! Instead of flipping out and gracefully landing on my feet in triumph, I over-rotated and landed right on my rear. Ouch! No permanent damage—just a mud-stained bottom and wounded pride.
I wanted to impress everyone but it backfired. I just embarrassed myself.
A lot of times in life things backfire. It happened in David’s life. He decides to count his men in a nation-wide census. I believe it may have been an attempt on his part to show the world his might and power. But it completely backfired. In fact, after the census he had fewer men than when he began.
What can we do when our foolish decisions backfire? This Sunday’s message will be a caution against foolhardy schemes and an encouragement that, even when life backfires, there is hope in Jesus.
