What does it mean that Christ is our ensign?

Answered in 1 source

Christ as our ensign signifies that He is the banner under which His people gather for salvation.

In biblical terms, an ensign functions as a standard or banner. In Isaiah, Christ is depicted as the ensign for the people, meaning He draws together His chosen ones from all nations. This idea is rooted in God's sovereignty, asserting that through Christ's elevation and sacrifice, believers find hope, refuge, and unity. As a banner, He invites all to come and find salvation. This reinforces the Reformed understanding that God actively gathers His people, fulfilling His promises through Christ's work on the cross.
