Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the LORD {is} upon Me, Because He has
anointed Me To preach the good news (gospel) to {the} poor; He has sent
e to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to {the} captives " And
in
I Cor. 1:24 "but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, The
Anointed One and His Anointing (Christ) the power of God and the wisdom of
God." we are told that Christ, or the Anointed One and his Anointing is
the power and wisdom of God.
In
Is. 10:27 (KJV) we are told that the anointing removes burdens and
destroys yokes. A yoke is anything that weighs you down, like sin,
sickness, debt, etc...
All through the old testament times the Jews were told of a coming of the
Anointed, and how when the Anointing came it would bring yoke destroying,
burden removing power. Remember what
I Cor. 1:24 says, "Christ (The Anointed) the power and wisdom of
God." Who else could destroy yokes? God, of course! So the Jews were
looking for the Messiah which is Hebrew for the Anointed One. The Jews
admit Jesus was a prophet and a teacher and that He did great works; they
just don't admit He was the Christ (the Anointed One).
So what do we know so far;
Christ (Greek) and Messiah (Hebrew) in English mean The Anointed One.
In the next Bible Study I will go deeper into how we are anointed of God.
And what it means to and for us.
Until then read the following:
Until the next Bible Study I pray that God will bless each and every one of you in His
power and revelation of Him (Amen).

"Christ" is a Greek word that means "The Anointed One and His Anointing". Anointed
means being rubbed in and on. Jesus told us that being anointed was having the Spirit of
the Lord upon Him:
To anoint is to rub on and in, so Anointed is already rubbed in and
on.
The Spirit of God comes to us from and through His Spirit
(Anointing).
And what it brings is power and wisdom of God.
So
Jesus did what He did via the Holy Spirit.
Because He was anointed
(rubbed in and on) with God's Spirit (power and wisdom of God).

I John 2:20-27
Jesus is the word become flesh John 1:14, God is the soul (mind, will and emotions) of the trinity.
Christ was the manifestation of God on Jesus. And if we are of Christ we are of the manifestation of God on, in and through us.
