How do we know that Jesus is merciful and compassionate?

Matthew 15:32 reflects Christ's compassion toward the multitudes who were sick and needy. His actions of healing the lame, blind, and dumb illustrate that He is profoundly merciful and responsive to our needs. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is depicted as one who reaches out to the marginalized and broken. His miracles are signs of His compassion, revealing God's love for humanity. As we come to Him in our various states of brokenness, we find that He is indeed a very present help and healer.
