Episode Details

Jesus "knew what was in man" (John 2:24-25, KJV), and He never saw a hopeless case. G. Campbell Morgan's The Great Physician, broken down.
G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown (The Great Physician), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta start G. Campbell Morgan's book The Great Physician and talk about why the classic preachers still matter. Jesus said "They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick" (Matthew 9:12). So why did He sit with the people the religious leaders rejected?

In John 2:24-25 Jesus "knew all men" and "knew what was in man," so He never dealt with two people the same way. Morgan calls man "spiritual in essence, sinning in experience, salvable by grace." Along the way: the Word made flesh (John 1), spirit, soul and body, music and frequency as a picture of missing the mark, seeking first the kingdom, and how Jesus met Andrew, Peter, Philip, Nathanael and Nicodemus differently.
