Purpose of the Anointing

Nov 8, 2020    Joel Sadaphal

What is the purpose of the anointing? Jesus answers by declaring; “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:18​–19 ESV) Could it be that is the purpose for the church Jesus died to birth as well? We are to be instruments of God's grace as Jesus was when He walked the face of the earth. This message develops that thought and is the third in the Series – The Anointing.
