This is the Way 7

Jesus once said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” He likened sin to a disease and himself to a healer. Based on this text, ancient Christians called Jesus “the doctor of the soul.” And trying to go on the spiritual journey of discipleship without healing from sin is like trying to run a marathon with a broken leg — you’re not going to get very far, and it’s not going to be very fun. A key step in our apprenticeship to Jesus is healing from sin.
