How does Jesus identify with sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus identifies with sinners by sharing in their humanity and being numbered among them.

Jesus’s identification with sinners is an integral part of His mission. He was 'numbered with the transgressors,' which is illustrated by His crucifixion alongside thieves. This act underscores His willingness to immerse Himself in human suffering and sinfulness, thereby identifying with those He came to save. By taking on human flesh and experiencing the depths of human sin and shame, Jesus affirms that He truly understands our struggles. This identification offers us hope and reassurance that we have a Savior who fully comprehends the human condition and the needs of sinners. He seeks, welcomes, and change lives through His grace.
