Mark 2:15-17

And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

THey that are in good health have no need of a physician . One can only appreciate a physician when there’s illness. And it is equally true that they that are in good health have no need of a physician.

Now when there’s a sin in the life of any human, what is the remedy? Do you think it’s a physician or something else. It’s a deadly disease and even the smallest one is as fatal as you can think. There’s only one healer which is the great physician. Only the great physician can heal it. sin is the disease, Christ is the healer. When a man falls sick, he can prevent it from getting worse or turning into something stronger. The disease has no diminution till the remedy of the Great Physician is applied.

For us to appreciate the importance of the great physician, we have to apply:

• FAITH
  The superiority of his skill to ours can be acknowledge with faith only. All we need to do is just to speak the word. Therefore we won’t call upon him when there’s availability of faith. we just have to do as he directs us to. We are to follow his directions also. Not just believing in him only. He said to then Pharisees one time.

Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Just the same way you’re in expectation of the physical physician, and you’re ready to do anything he says, so the same you should be in expectation with high faith too. We often see that a physician is stationary, and his patients who needs healing, have to come to him wherever he is, in order to get the benefits of his treatment. That’s how it is also spiritually. Christ has urge us to come unto him. Christ don’t go and meet a sinner in his house, but He invites the sinner to come to Him. **"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."**

What is the remedy?

The remedy for sin is from this great physician, is the Physician's own blood. Is this not wonderful? That is the only thing in the whole word of God that can heal the disease of sin, and take away the ruinous consequences.
