The Bible reveals Jesus' deep compassion for sinners, as shown in Luke 13:34 where He expresses His desire to gather Jerusalem's children as a hen gathers her chicks.

In Luke 13:34, Jesus laments over Jerusalem, illustrating His profound compassion for sinners. He expresses a heartfelt desire to gather the children of the city under His protective care, akin to a hen gathering her chicks. This moment underscores not just His sorrow for their refusal to turn to Him but also highlights His willingness to save. Jesus openly states His desire that none should perish, which aligns with texts like 2 Peter 3:9 and 1 Timothy 2:4, emphasizing His infinite readiness to embrace all who come to Him.
