What does the Bible say about the magnification of Christ?

In the Bible, particularly in Joshua 3:7-8, God declares that He will magnify Joshua to the Israelites, which serves as a precedent to the ultimate magnification of Christ. This magnification is not for the entire world but is specifically for God's chosen people, the elect. In this context, God's purpose is to reveal Christ as the fulfillment of the law and the only means by which believers can be justified before God. The declaration that the Lord was with Moses gives way to the assurance that He will also be with Joshua, highlighting the continuity in God’s leadership through divine sovereignty. As believers, we observe that Christ’s magnification culminates in His resurrection and proclamation as the only Savior of the world.
