JESUS APPEARS AS THE ANOINTED ONE
āChristā is not Jesusā last name, of course. It is a title. The Greek word āChristā and the Hebrew word āMessiahā both meanĀ the same thingāāThe Anointed One.ā Anointing was the practice of pouring liquid (typically oil) over the head of someone to signify selection for some special task. However, when the Lord anointed heroes to do his saving work, what he poured over them was his Spirit.
For centuries people of faith had patiently waited for the promised Messiah, the servant of God who would bring the salvation we so desperately need. The time had come for Jesus to be revealed as the fulfillment of that divine promise. So, Christ our Lord came to the Jordan River to be baptized, that he might be recognized by John and revealed to Israel. At his baptism Jesus was anointedāmarked as God’s special servant and empowered by the Spirit of the Lord.
