A heart of gold

Christ had heart of gold. His heart was full of love for everybody. He cared for righteous and sinners, children and adults, the hungry, the sick people, the needy and those who are in captivity. The late Pope Shenouda III told us about Jesus Christ and how he was always working for the convenience of all.

Jesus said "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest". He healed the sick and those were oppressed of the devil. He felt compassion for the sinner and lead them to repentance. He announced that "healthy people do not need a physician, but the sick, he did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance".
 
Christ has accepted Matthew the publican among his own disciples, and showed the people that a humble tax collector is better than a proud Pharisee. Moreover, he accepted the Samaritans praising the faith of the Centurion as well as the Canaanite woman.
 
The Lord Jesus Christ came to all people with a compassion heart. He accepted everybody including the weak, the hungry, and the sick. He is the good teacher Jesus Christ whose birth made us sing: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men".
