What does it mean that all ministers preach Christ?

Answered in 1 source

All ministers are called to preach Christ, emphasizing His work of salvation as central to the Gospel message.

The proclamation of Christ as central to the Gospel is a hallmark of historic Reformed theology. This underscores that every sermon, regardless of the text or context, ultimately leads to and points back to Christ and His redemptive work. As stated in Romans 10:14, how can they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? This reveals the necessity of Christ in every minister's message, demonstrating that our faith is built upon understanding who Jesus is and what He accomplished through His life, death, and resurrection.

Furthermore, the unity in preaching Christ reflects the biblical narrative where all of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, ultimately reveals God's plan of salvation through Jesus. Whether it's the metaphorical preaching of Moses or the direct call of John the Baptist, the focus is always on leading individuals to recognize their need for Christ. This defines the mission of every servant of God, which is to declare the hope found in Christ as the only means of salvation for lost sinners.
