How do we know Jesus cares for young believers?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus demonstrates His care for young believers by patiently nurturing them and providing them with spiritual nourishment.

The care of Jesus for young believers is evident in His gentle approach to their weaknesses and struggles. As a shepherd, He does not quench the smoking flax or break the bruised reed, emphasizing His patience and mercy. In Matthew 26:40, even when His disciples faltered, He rebuked them lovingly but reassured them of His unwavering support. This assurance is also reflected in 1 Peter 5:7, where believers are encouraged to cast their anxieties on Him because He cares for them. His nurturing extends to feeding and teaching us according to our capabilities, as seen in Hebrews 5:12, which identifies the need for spiritual milk before we can handle solid food.
