How do we know that Christ is compassionate towards the weak?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's character is compassionate, as exemplified by His care for the weak and feeble believers.

The compassion of Christ for the weak and struggling believers is vividly illustrated in Matthew 12 through the metaphor of the 'bruised reed' and 'smoking flax.' These expressions serve to represent those whose faith may feel fragile or insufficient. The Lord does not disdain the weak but is tender and gentle towards them. For example, Job 36:5 reminds us that God does not despise the weak, demonstrating His concern for those who may feel they lack strength in their faith. Jesus’s ministry is characterized by His attention to the meek and lowly, emphasizing that even the smallest signs of faith and repentance are precious in His sight. This brings comfort to those who fear they are inadequately equipped for salvation, assuring them that even the faintest spark of faith holds true value.
