What does the Bible say about Jesus as the Anointed One?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is referred to as the Anointed One, or Messiah, fulfilling God's purpose to save His people.

The term 'Anointed One' directly connects to the identity of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. In Isaiah 45, God speaks to the Anointed, highlighting the divine intention behind Christ's coming into the world. Hebrews 5:5 affirms that Christ was appointed by God as our mediator, and Luke 4:18-21 illustrates His ministry by declaring the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy, emphasizing that He was sent to preach good news to the poor and heal the brokenhearted. Thus, Jesus is not only the prophetic fulfillment of these scriptures but also the embodiment of God's saving purpose.
Scripture References: Isaiah 45, Luke 4:18-21, Hebrews 5:5
