Answered in 1 source
Jesus is identified as the Great Physician in Scripture because He alone has the power to heal the spiritual sickness of sin.
Scripture presents Jesus as the Great Physician, the only one capable of healing the sin-sick soul. He declared in Matthew 9:13, 'I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance,' which signifies His purpose in seeking out those who are spiritually dead. The power of Christ is affirmed in Isaiah 53:5, which states, 'By His stripes we are healed.' This healing is not physical but spiritual, addressing the complete restoration of the sinner. Through redemption accomplished on the cross, Jesus justifies and reconciles those who believe in Him, showcasing the truth that He indeed is the Great Physician.
