Sharing the sufferings of Christ involves the experience of the deep emotions, agony, and passion he continues to experience for the least, the last, and the lost by his indwelling Spirit. All followers of Jesus were once least, last, and lost. When we forget that, we stop feeling.
– Dr. Mark Chironna
Yes! It’s painful to feel such spiritual emotions of empathy. But it’s worse to be dead, with no feelings at all.

I’ve been impressed by scriptural accounts that tell us Jesus was often quite emotional, expressing both joy and sorrow.
