What The Parable Of The Prodigal Son Teaches Us About Processing Emotions

Jesus gives us a powerful example of what it looks like to process our emotions as well as to not process our emotions in this parable!

Processing our emotions is key in our lives as disciples of Jesus because the enemy has access to our fallen (unprocessed) emotions. Jesus teaches us exactly how to handle each situation, depending on what it is.

In terms of anger – it is a God-given emotional response whenever sin is involved, but we must remember that emotions are responses to our perception of the reality, and not necessarily to the actual reality.

Not only that, but we must process our anger right away or else it will turn into bitterness and wrath – and those are sins, according to Jesus’ Teachings, which means we are venturing out into the enemy’s territory, and he has the right to oppress us when we do!

In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus teaches us what processing our emotions looks like, practically, and also what it looks like when we don’t go through these steps He teaches us we ought to.

I hope you enjoy this video and find it helpful, and I hope it encourages you to join me in this Bible study that will help us not only understand in depth why God doesn’t punish us, but that will help us internalize who God really is, and help us relate to Him as our Perfect Heavenly Father!

God bless you, abundantly!!
