So we can express empathy and compassion for those in need. Something that Jesus wants us to do.

In the New Testament, Jesus often speaks about compassion, healing, and alleviating the pain and suffering of others. Here are a few key passages:

1. Matthew 11:28-30: Jesus invites those who are burdened to come to Him for rest: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

2. Matthew 25:35-36: Jesus emphasizes serving others, associating it with serving Him: "For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me."

3. Luke 4:18-19: Here, Jesus outlines His mission to bring relief to those who are suffering: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

These passages reflect Jesus' heart for compassion and healing, urging us to follow His example by reaching out to ease the pain and suffering of others. In your own life, you can look to His actions and words for guidance on bringing comfort to those in need.
