What does it mean that Jesus was anointed by God?

Answered in 1 source

Being anointed by God signifies Jesus' divine appointment as Prophet, Priest, and King.

In His ministry, Jesus' anointing by God is a significant theological point. It means that He was ordained for specific roles crucial to His mission: as Prophet, proclaiming God's word; as Priest, offering Himself as the sacrifice for sin; and as King, reigning over His people. This anointing signifies the authority granted to Him by God to fulfill the covenant of redemption. The Scriptures indicate that this anointing is unique, for it was given to Him without measure, indicating the fullness of the Holy Spirit at work through Him as He accomplishes God's purposes on earth.
