Christ is our representative because he fulfilled the law perfectly and bears the responsibility for his people’s salvation.
The sermon emphasizes the idea of representation through Adam and Christ. Just as Adam represented all humanity in his disobedience, leading to sin, Christ represents his people through his obedience to the Father. The preacher recounts how, through the covenant of grace, Christ has become the federal head of those whom God has given Him. His righteous acts, culminating in his death and resurrection, secure salvation for all whom he represents, showcasing the profound theological truth that our standing before God is based not on our works but solely on Christ's finished work.
