Jesus looked past the faults and surface of all kinds of people and saw their needs.
He loved them at the deepest level of His being. He showed compassion. May believers learn to see people as Jesus sees them.
Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
