How does Jesus show compassion for the lost?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus demonstrates deep compassion for the lost by stating they are like sheep without a shepherd, as shown in Matthew 9:36.

In Matthew 9, upon seeing the multitudes, Jesus was moved with compassion because they were scattered and helpless. He likened them to sheep without a shepherd, highlighting His concern for their spiritual state. This moment reveals His heart for the lost and emphasizes the need for shepherds in God’s vineyard. It calls Christians to share in this compassion and actively seek to reach the unconverted, as Jesus exemplified in His ministry. His compassion is not just emotional; it compels action—praying for laborers and reaching out to the lost.
