What does the Bible say about Jesus' compassion?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible shows that Jesus has deep compassion for those who are suffering, exemplified in His interaction with the widow of Nain (Luke 7:11-17).

In Luke 7:11-17, we see a powerful display of Jesus' compassion when He encounters a widow mourning the death of her only son. Despite the crowd's sorrow, Jesus approaches her and says, 'Weep not.' His compassion is not just an emotional response; it is coupled with divine authority and power, as He has the ability to raise the dead. This moment highlights the heart of Christ, who does not merely sympathize with our sufferings but acts to alleviate them. The scripture reveals that God is a God of mercy and compassion, and Christ embodies this attribute perfectly.
