How do we know that Christ cares for the lost?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's compassion for the lost is evident in His actions and teachings, showcasing His willingness to save and teach even those who are not His sheep.

In Mark 6:34, we learn that Jesus was moved with compassion for the crowds because they were like sheep without a shepherd. This illustrates His deep concern for those lost in ignorance and sin. The passage reassures us that Christ's compassion is not limited to His followers; He looks upon all humanity with pity and a desire to save. His love and willingness to teach indicate that He cares for all, offering the invitation of salvation to everyone, including the most wretched sinner. The theology that suggests Christ cares only for believers is inadequate; He exhibits a general love towards all mankind, desiring that none should perish but that all should come to repentance.
