Jesus, the Christ, the Anointed Messiah


Most of our leaders are dictators. They don't give a damn of what people are saying concerning them. They don't believe in feedback and people's opinions.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was a leader with a difference. In the gospel of Mark    8:27-35 our Lord Jesus Christ asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others one of the prophets.” And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” The title 'Christ' means the anointed One, the Messiah. In the gospel of Luke 4:18 our Lord Jesus Christ highlights his role as Christ, the Anointed Messiah:  “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,  because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free." Our Lord Jesus Christ was anointed for us. He was anointed for our liberation, our restoration and our salvation. As we share in his divine anointing our lives will never be the same and God's name will be glorified forever in Jesus name - Amen!
