Christos - The Anointed One
Jesus is the bridge for humanity to reach heaven. All others, who were anointed to be representatives of Heaven on Earth, failed in some respect. But Jesus, the Messiah, the Christos, was anointed by both man and God, and fulfilled this role once and for all.
Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted Him. After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.” - Matthew 3:13-17 NASB
Jesus is more than a priest, he is our Great High Priest. He is more than a prophet, speaking on behalf of God, he is the Living Word of God itself. Jesus is more than a king, he is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Fully a man, yet fully God, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
Be blessed to know Jesus in a greater measure this week as you meditate on the Word.
