Q. Why is he called Christ, that is, Anointed? A. Because he has been ordained by God the Father, and anointed with the Holy Spirit, 1 to be our chief Prophet and Teacher, 2 who has fully revealed to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our redemption; 3 our only High Priest, 4 who by the one sacrifice of his body has redeemed us, 5 and who continually intercedes for us before the Father; 6 and our eternal King, 7 who governs us by his Word and Spirit, and who defends and preserves us in the redemption obtained for us. 8 ~Scripture Proof~ 1.Ps 45:7 (Heb 1:9); Is 61:1 (Lk 4:18); Lk 3:21, 22. 2.Deut 18:15 (Acts 3:22). 3.Jn 1:18; 15:15. 4.Ps 110:4 (Heb 7:17). 5.Heb 9:12; 10:11-14. 6.Rom 8:34; Heb 9:24; 1 Jn 2:1. 7.Zech 9:9 (Mt 21:5); Lk 1:33. 8.Mt 28:18-20; Jn 10:28; Rev 12:10, 11.

For example, He is, Our Hope – 1 Timothy 1:1 Our Peace – Ephesians 2:14 Our Prophet – Hebrews 1:1-3 Our Redeemer – Job 19:25, Galatians 3:13 Our Rock – 1 Corinthians 10:4 Our Sacrifice - 1 John 4:10 Our Saviour – Luke 2:11 The Supreme Creator Over All - 1 Corinthians 1:16-17 The Resurrection and the Life - John 11:25 The Door – John 10:9 The Way – John 14:6 The Eternal Word – John 1:1 ...
