We know Jesus is tender-hearted through His compassionate interactions and comforting words to His disciples.
Throughout Scripture, particularly in the accounts in the Gospels, we see Jesus' tender-hearted nature displayed through His interactions with the broken and the weary. For instance, in John 14, after Judas leaves the group, Jesus turns His focus to encouraging His disciples, showing a deep understanding of their grief. He speaks to them in a manner that addresses their troubled hearts and reassures them of His love and ongoing presence. He effectively demonstrates how a true shepherd tenderly cares for His flock, providing comfort in their sorrowful moments, confirming His identity as a compassionate Savior who understands human suffering and despair.
