What does it mean to preach Christ?

Preaching Christ involves making Him the focal point of the message delivered from Scripture, as all of God’s Word converges on the person and work of Jesus. In John 5:39, Christ Himself instructs us to search the Scriptures because they testify about Him. This means that any sermon or teaching lacking a focus on Christ is fundamentally incomplete. Preaching Christ is to declare His atoning sacrifice, His righteousness, and His role as the mediator and forerunner for our faith, calling listeners to embrace Him as their Savior.
