What is the significance of Jesus only?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus only signifies that He is the sole sufficiency for our salvation and the fulfillment of God’s promises.

The phrase ‘Jesus only’ encompasses the profound truth that Christ alone fulfills all requirements for salvation and sustains our faith. This concept stresses that His obedience to the law secures our righteousness, as articulated in Romans 10:4 where it states that ‘Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.’ In the light of His transfiguration, the call to ‘hear Him’ emphasizes that all other mediators, such as the law and the prophets (represented by Moses and Elijah), find their culmination and fulfillment in Him. Thus, Jesus alone is our comfort, strength, and hope, underscoring the Reformed understanding of Christ’s exclusive role in our redemption.
