What does the Bible say about the Spirit of the Lord?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible declares that the Spirit of the Lord rests upon Christ, anointing Him to preach good news to the meek and save the brokenhearted (Isaiah 61:1).
In Isaiah 61, the scripture asserts that 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.' This verse signifies the empowerment of Christ through the Holy Spirit for His ministry. Furthermore, Christ Himself affirms this in Luke 4:18-19, where He reads from Isaiah in the synagogue, declaring that the prophecy is fulfilled in Him. The anointing with the Spirit symbolizes the fullness and authority with which He is endowed to carry out His mission of salvation, healing, and liberation.
