How do we know that Jesus cares for us in our trials?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus' care for us is evidenced by His presence and the promises in Scripture, such as in 1 Peter 5:7.
The question 'Carest thou not that we perish?' reflects a common feeling among believers in distress. Yet, the assurance of Scripture provides a firm foundation for understanding the care of Christ. For instance, in 1 Peter 5:7, we are commanded to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us. This demonstrates not only His concern for our temporal troubles but also His eternal commitment to our well-being. His calming of the storm in Mark 4 serves as a powerful reminder of His sovereignty over creation and His willingness to intervene in our lives. The tenderness and compassion of Christ, coupled with His willingness to bear our burdens, assure us of His deep care during our trials.
