Sometimes it gets kind of hard to believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Creator of the universe, cares about us. But the Bible repeatedly affirms that He cares for His people. He had compassion on people when they needed teaching (Matthew 9:36), healing (Matthew 14:14), and something to eat (Matthew 15:32). Furthermore, He loved those who were close to Him and those who were close to the truth (John 11:5; Mark 10:21).
It’s comforting to know that Jesus cares about our physical needs, but it is even more reassuring to know that He cares for us spiritually (Ephesians 1:3). Romans 5:8 says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Does Jesus care? Oh yes, He cares. His heart is touched with my grief!
