The sermon by Clay Curtis centers on the theological doctrine of the covenant as it relates to the person and work of Jesus Christ, drawing primarily from Isaiah 42:5-8. The preacher argues that God's covenant with Jesus signifies not only the promises made to His Son but also extends to all believers who are united with Christ. He expounds on how the Father’s promises of righteousness, empowerment, and faithfulness to Jesus affirm God's commitment to His elect. Specific Scripture references, including Romans 3 and Hebrews 5, illustrate how Christ fulfills the law, serves as the High Priest, and offers justification to sinners. The sermon emphasizes the practical significance of understanding Christ as the covenant, highlighting that true salvation and righteousness are solely in Him and that no human effort can contribute to one's standing before God.
