Why is Jesus referred to as the Great Physician?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called the Great Physician because of His divine authority and ability to heal the spiritual disease of sin.

The title 'Great Physician' aptly describes Jesus due to His unparalleled ability to heal both physically and spiritually. In Matthew 9:12, He made it clear that He came to help those who are spiritually sick—the sinners. His ministry revolved around healing and restoration, as evidenced by His life of touch and compassion toward the downtrodden. Moreover, through His atoning work, Jesus accomplishes what no earthly physician can; He restores sinners to a right relationship with God by bearing their sins Himself (Isaiah 53:5). The effectiveness of His healing transcends the physical, offering eternal life to those who believe.
