Why do preachers need to emphasize Christ?

The emphasis on Christ in preaching is rooted in His necessity for salvation and the glory of God. Preachers are called not only to declare the truths of scripture but to magnify Christ who fulfills all the promises of God. By placing Christ at the center, preachers ensure that their message brings glory to Him, encourages believers, and draws sinners to repentance. As John the Baptist stated, 'He must increase, but I must decrease,' illustrating the essential focus on Christ over any human endeavor.
