How do we know Christ's compassion is real?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's compassion is evidenced both in His miracles and His willingness to heal the suffering.

The compassion of Christ is vitally expressed in the healing narratives found in the Gospels. His encounter with the paralytic at Bethesda exemplifies His readiness to respond to human suffering with kindness and power. Despite the man's long-term affliction, Christ sees him, knows his condition, and intervenes with immediate healing. This act is not isolated; it reflects a broader biblical theme where Jesus demonstrates His abounding love, as seen in Micah 7:18, where God delights in showing mercy. Believers can trust in this aspect of Christ’s nature, recognizing that He is ever willing to act on behalf of those who seek Him, emphasizing that He is the same today.
