Why do Christians say Jesus cares for us?

In 1 Peter 5:7, we are instructed to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us. Jesus' care is evident throughout His earthly ministry, where He healed the sick, comforted the distressed, and ultimately laid down His life for sinners. The narrative of Jesus calming the storm exemplifies this care when He responds to His disciples’ fear, demonstrating both His power over creation and His concern for their welfare. As our intercessor at the right hand of God, He continually cares for us now, assuring us that we can approach Him with our burdens.
