We know God has compassion on us as demonstrated in His sending of Jesus, who binds our wounds and heals our soul.
God's compassion is vividly portrayed through Jesus Christ, often referred to as the 'Good Samaritan' who comes to the aid of those in desperate need. The Scriptures affirm that God is 'compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness' (Exodus 34:6). This divine compassion offers hope for the destitute and spiritually wounded, assuring us that even when we feel lost, the Lord knows our condition. In the parable, Jesus demonstrates that He actively addresses our wounds, which is evident in His sacrificial love and the healing power of the Gospel, where He binds our wounds with His grace and truth.
