When you talk about Jesus being The Christ, the One who has been sent by God and anointed with God’s delivering power, the word becomes very, very special. It takes on great significance, not just because it’s some kind of mystical, religious term, but because of the powerful, practical nature of what the Anointing of God can do.
People today don’t know much about that kind of anointing, but the Jewish people in Jesus’ day knew a great deal about it. In fact, they were looking for it. They were expecting the Messiah—that’s Hebrew for the Christ or, in English, the Anointed One.
For hundreds of years, the Jewish people had been looking for the Deliverer that God had promised to send them, the One with the power of God on Him, the One who would free them from the oppression and bondage of their enemies and restore to them their heritage of blessing.
Sure enough, when Jesus came on the scene, that’s exactly what He preached. He said “God has anointed me I’m the One you’ve been looking for!”
