Now that is a bold statement. For Christ to be anointed King of Kings and Lord of Lords He had to obey Father by suffering the cross, all its shame, AND taking on all our sins and Mr. Sin himself. When received in the heavenlies and given right to sit down at the right hand of God, it was proof of His anointing.
Several days later, here on earth, bound in time and space, Holy Spirit (the very Spirit of Christ) took residence (not a visit) in but 120 people. As the Spirit of God hovered over the water and created all we experience, as Holy Spirit took residence in Mary and created a body for Himself for some 33 years, even now, first in those 120 disciples, He has taken residence again to continue His work, but now through all those who trust Him. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you forever--17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you. 18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. John 14:16–18 (LEB emphasis mine) |
