Preaching Christ is essential because He is the foundation of our faith and the message of reconciliation between humanity and God.
Preaching Christ is central to our ministry because it reflects the core of the gospel message. As stated in 2 Corinthians 4:5, Paul writes that we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord. This statement underscores that our ministry is not about elevating ourselves but about exalting Jesus Christ, who reconciles sinners to God. Moreover, by focusing solely on Christ, we ensure that the power and effectiveness of our message derive from Him, not our abilities. The true hope for reconciliation and life comes through the proclamation of Christ’s work, especially His atoning sacrifice, which empowers and motivates believers.
