How do we know Jesus is the anointed one sent to save?

The affirmation of Jesus as the anointed one is rooted in His fulfillment of prophecy, specifically Isaiah 61, where it is declared that the Spirit of the Lord is upon Him. In Luke 4, Jesus reads this scripture in the synagogue and proclaims its fulfillment, thereby identifying Himself as the one anointed to proclaim the good news. This pivotal moment not only confirms His identity but also illustrates the divine purpose of His mission: to bring healing, liberate the captives, and offer salvation to those in need. The authority given to Him by the Father further underscores His role as the Savior, as He is empowered to grant eternal life to those whom the Father has given to Him.
