For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together. Acts 4:27
Jesus is the Holy Servant, whom the Father has anointed. Jesus assumed the threefold office of prophet, priest and king. Just as an Old Testament prophet was anointed before ministering a word of the Lord, so the Father anointed Jesus to deliver the message of salvation to the world. Likewise, as a Temple priest was anointed to make an offering for sin, so the heavenly Father anointed Jesus to make an offering for the sins of the world. Just as a king was anointed to rule his kingdom, so the Father anointed Jesus to enter the hearts of believers and to rule their lives. Did you know that the title “Christ” comes from the Hebrew root that means “anointed”? So Jesus’ title is Christ, the anointed One.
Lord Jesus, You are my Prophet, Priest and King. Come with the message of salvation and sit upon the throne of my life to rule my thoughts and actions.
Jesus is the Holy Servant of the Father. The Father sent Jesus to do His will. He sent Jesus to live without sin among people. He sent Him to do mighty miracles and to demonstrate His love. He sent Jesus to die for all and to rise from the dead so that they might have life. Jesus was the Holy Servant of the Father for you.
Lord Jesus, just as You were the Holy Servant of the Father, so I want to be Your servant. Just as You were anointed by the Father to do Your work, I want Your anointing in my life. Come use me today.
Jesus was the Servant of the Father.
