Why is Christ called the great physician?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is called the great physician because He provides the ultimate healing for our incurable sin through His sacrifice.

Jeremiah 30:12-13 highlights the reality of sin as an incurable disease, emphasizing that human efforts to remedy our spiritual condition are insufficient. Christ, as the great physician, takes the pains of our sin upon Himself, thus providing the healing we desperately need. Isaiah 53 foretells that He was wounded for our transgressions, showing that our healing comes through His suffering. There is no other remedy for our sin-sick souls but through Christ's blood, which cleanses us from all unrighteousness and restores us to a right relationship with God. He is the only one who can cure the disease of sin fully and completely.
