How do we know that Jesus is merciful?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is merciful because He took on human flesh and understands our temptations.

In Hebrews 2:17, it is stated that Jesus was made like His brethren so that He might serve as a merciful High Priest. This means that He is full of mercy and pity, truly able to sympathize with us in our weaknesses and temptations. Through His own experiences as a suffering servant, Jesus can offer help to those who are tempted, running to those who cry out for assistance. His mercy is evidenced not just in His understanding but also in His sacrificial work to atone for sin.
