Christ shows compassion to sinners by personally engaging with them and seeking their redemption.
Throughout scripture, Jesus embodies compassion, particularly towards sinners and the downtrodden. In Matthew 9:12, He states that He has come to heal those who are spiritually sick, indicating His role as the Great Physician. His encounters with sinners demonstrate His willingness not only to acknowledge their plight but actively remedy their condition through forgiveness and grace. This compassionate approach of Christ reveals that He sees the brokenness of humanity and instead of condemnation, He offers healing and restoration. For believers, this compassion assures them that no matter their past, they can find refuge and salvation in Him.
