Why is Jesus called a great Savior?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called a great Savior because He alone can accomplish salvation for great sinners through His atoning work (Hebrews 2:10).

Jesus is referred to as a great Savior because He is uniquely qualified to effectuate salvation for those who are bound under sin. The term 'great' indicates the significant role He plays in the cosmos, particularly in relation to His work on the cross. Hebrews 2:10 describes Him as the one who brings many sons to glory, affirming that it is fitting for Him, for whom and by whom all things exist, to perfect the salvation of His people. His greatness lies not only in His divine nature but also in His ability to empathize with human suffering, making Him the perfect high priest who intercedes on behalf of sinners. In considering the depth of our need as great sinners, it becomes evident that only a great Savior can meet this need entirely and effectively.
