What does it mean that Jesus was anointed by the Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus being anointed by the Spirit signifies Him as the empowered Messiah sent to proclaim the good news.

The anointing of Jesus by the Spirit is a profound aspect of His identity as the Messiah. This signifies that He is divinely empowered to carry out His mission of salvation. As Isaiah prophesied, the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him to bring good news to the poor and heal the brokenhearted. This anointing not only legitimizes Jesus' authority but also ensures that through Him, God’s redemptive plan is realized, providing hope and healing to all who believe. It exemplifies the union of divine purpose and human agency in the work of salvation.
