The Great Physician

Author: G Campbell Morgan
Publisher: Crimond House Publications
THE CHRIST OF THE INDIVIDUAL - 50 Characters in the life of Christ. We often hear the lament that there are no longer any “characters” in life. It is certainly true that in public life, as well as general life, there is a tendency within society to homogenise individuals to conform to the accepted norm. Yet the Saviour is the Christ of the individual. Like the doctor in his office, he deals with each individual case in their own unique circumstances, meeting their particular need. These fifty character sketches show the Great Physician at work. He is the One who, looking at the multitude, was “moved with compassion” and saw them as “sheep having no shepherd.” Yet, the same One was able to meet each one at their individual point of need. He said to Simon, “Satan hath desired to have you (collectively), that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee (individually).” The truth that the Lord is interested in us individually and is willing and able to minister to us personally, is a truth that can sustain us through the tough times that must inevitably come into every life. The author, in each study, brings out vital truths as to the person and work of Christ and how He dealt with individuals. Our hope and prayer is that these truths will encourage and sustain you, the reader in difficult days and help prepare each of us to be more useful for Him. “Whenever you find a book by Morgan, buy it and study it.” Warren W.
