The Tenderness of Jesus - Rob Reimer

The sermon centers on the profound tenderness of Jesus as the antidote to the disillusionment and deconstruction many young believers experience due to the world's suffering and the church's moral failures. Drawing from Matthew 12:20–21, it emphasizes that Jesus does not break bruised reeds or snuff out smoldering wicks, illustrating His compassionate care for the broken, the weary, and the spiritually faint. Through vivid stories—such as the woman at the well, the hemorrhaging woman, and the healing of the leper—the sermon reveals Jesus' unwavering grace toward sinners, the traumatized, and the sick, demonstrating that His love is not conditional on perfection but rooted in His eternal compassion. The speaker shares personal testimonies of encountering Jesus' tenderness amid heartbreak, public attack, and spiritual dryness, affirming that humility before Him unlocks His grace and renews one's affection. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to make Jesus their first love and primary obsession, inviting a fresh encounter with His healing presence, where grace exceeds sin and brokenness is met with divine tenderness.
