Why is Jesus referred to as considering the poor?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the ultimate example of considering the poor, as He left His glory to save sinners who are spiritually poor.

The phrase 'Blessed is he that considereth the poor' finds its fullest expression in Christ. Jesus, who is rich, became poor for our sake, highlighting His compassion towards spiritually impoverished sinners. Throughout His life and ministry, He demonstrated this compassion by healing the sick, befriending outcasts, and ultimately laying down His life for the salvation of humanity. This unique aspect of His character reminds believers of their own spiritual need and the mercy extended to them through Christ.
