How do we know that Jesus is the Great Physician?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is affirmed as the Great Physician by His actions of healing and by calling sinners to repentance, emphasizing His role in spiritual restoration.

In Mark 2:15-17, Jesus is depicted dining with publicans and sinners, and His response to the criticisms from the Pharisees clearly establishes His mission: He came to heal the spiritually sick. The Scripture presents Christ not only as a healer of physical ailments but, more importantly, as the one who restores the souls of sinners. His ministry fulfills the prophetic declaration of His role to redeem and restore, as He makes plain that the righteous have no need for a physician, but the sick do. This profound truth reinforces the belief that every sinner who seeks His mercy never leaves empty-handed, showcasing Jesus' identity as the Great Physician.
