What does "Christ" mean, and what does the anointing tell us about Jesus?
"Christ" = Anointed One (Greek Christos). Acts 10:38: "God anointed him with holy spirit and power." The one who anoints is superior to the one anointed. If Jesus is God, who anointed him? You cannot anoint yourself. 1 Corinthians 3:23: "You belong to Christ; Christ belongs to God." And 1 Cor 15:28: the Son subjects himself to the Father. What does the concept of anointing reveal about the Father-Son relationship? nwtprogress.com
