What does it mean that help is laid on the mighty?

Answered in 1 source

It means that God has appointed Jesus Christ, who is mighty, as the one responsible for fulfilling the terms of the covenant for our salvation.

The phrase 'help is laid on the mighty' from Psalm 89 emphasizes that God has entrusted the responsibility of our redemption to Jesus, indicating His capability and authority as our Savior. The sermon illustrates that while we fall short in fulfilling covenant obligations, Christ, the anointed one, is empowered by God to accomplish what we cannot. Through His life, death, and resurrection, He meets the requirements of the covenant, ensuring that all believers receive the promised blessings of grace. This truth reassures Christians that their salvation is secure, resting on the power and faithfulness of Jesus rather than their own efforts.
