What does it mean that Christ is the blessed man?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the blessed man as He embodies perfect righteousness, compassion, and obedience to God, fulfilling the law perfectly on our behalf.

The title 'blessed man' ascribed to Christ encapsulates His unique nature and righteousness. He is described as the one who 'walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly' and who delights in the law of the Lord. This perfect adherence to God's law combined with His compassion towards the impoverished signifies His role as our mediator. By living a sinless life and willingly bearing the sins of His people, He provided a way for us to be reconciled to God. Thus, His blessedness is not only reflective of His divine nature but also of His merciful heart towards humanity's spiritual poverty.
