How do we know Jesus is compassionate?

Answered in 13 sources

We know Jesus is compassionate because He actively showed mercy to the needy during His ministry, and He continues to express His compassion toward sinners today.

Jesus demonstrated His compassion repeatedly during His earthly ministry, as evidenced in Mark 8:2 where He expresses concern for the multitude that had been with Him for three days without food. The miracles He performed, including healing the sick and feeding the hungry, showcase His deep inner yearning to help those in need. This theme of compassion is consistent throughout Scripture, displaying God's nature as compassionate and merciful. In 1 John 4:9-10, we see that His ultimate act of compassion was sending His Son to be the propitiation for our sins, affirming His steadfast love for humanity.
