God has compassion on all he has made. The goodness and greatness of God is demonstrated in his compassion that is undeserved, unearned and frankly rejected.
When Jesus walked this earth "he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd" (Matthew 9:36). These were people who would turn on him and turn him over to be crucified. Yet, he still had compassion on them. He died for the sins of everyone. He has not changed. His compassion continues.
We too should have compassion for all. Not just for those who need us, those who can't hurt us, but, even for those who, dying in their own sins, hate us...
