How do we know Jesus' compassion for sinners is true?

Jesus’ compassion for sinners is profoundly illustrated in John 8:1-11. When the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, they sought to trap him, but Jesus stood firm in his compassion. Unlike the judgmental attitudes of the Pharisees, who set a trap, Jesus offered the woman not condemnation but grace. His response highlights the balance of God's justice and mercy, teaching that he cares deeply for the sinner while upholding God's law. This portrayal of Jesus shows His readiness to forgive and restore, displaying the very heart of the gospel that resonates with every sinner.
