The Destructive Nature of Contempt

This YouTube video explains the destructive nature of contempt. You have powerful emotions in your relationships, especially when someone is mistreating you or someone you love. When you try to explain what is bothering you and the person refuses to listen while continuing to do the same thing, you eventually begin to feel lots of negative emotions. If you aren’t careful, these emotions can turn into contempt which is damaging to your relationships.

Jesus’ example provides us with an opportunity to see how you can treat a person with dignity and respect even though the behavior is something that you totally disagree with.
