Why is Christ central to God's message in preaching?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the central figure of the message preached, as He is the embodiment of salvation and the fulfillment of God's promises (John 10:36).

The centrality of Christ in preaching stems from His unique role as the mediator and Savior who fulfills God's redemptive plan. According to John 10:36, Jesus indicates that He is sanctified and sent by the Father, positioning His message as paramount. Preaching must revolve around Christ, who embodies the Gospel and is the living Word of God, as it is through Him that redemption and reconciliation with God are made possible. The minister's task is to herald Christ's person and work, proclaiming His sufficiency for salvation, thereby directing the attention of believers towards Him, the source of all grace and truth. Emphasizing Christ ensures the glory of God is established as He becomes the focus of faith and devotion.
