Jesus is called God's elect in Isaiah 42:1, chosen to fulfill the covenant of grace and to be the mediator for His people.

Isaiah 42:1 identifies Jesus as 'Mine Elect,' signifying His unique status as God's chosen one. This election begins with Christ, who was selected in the covenant of grace to serve as the head of the church and the surety for sinners. He was chosen to perfectly fulfill God's law, serve as the mediator between God and humanity, and be the ultimate sin offering. This election is pivotal since it affirms that Jesus, as God's elect, was destined to accomplish salvation for all whom He represents.
