What does the Bible say about the tenderness of Jesus?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible describes Jesus as a gentle shepherd who tenderly cares for His flock, gathering the weak and vulnerable close to His heart (Isaiah 40:11, Psalm 23).

In Isaiah 40:11, Jesus is presented as a shepherd who gathers lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart, showcasing His tender care for His followers. This imagery reflects not just His nurturing aspect but highlights that He combines divine sovereignty with genuine compassion. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus is attentive to those who are weak, timid, or struggling in their faith, and He embraces them with love and warmth, offering them security and comfort in their vulnerabilities. This tenderness counters the image of God as merely a distant ruler, presenting Him as intimately involved in the lives of His people.
