Knowing Jesus as Christ

“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ…” Matthew 16:16(KJV)

To say that Jesus is the Christ means that He is the Messiah, that is the Anointed One. The one in whom resides the fullness of the Godhead bodily. One in whom resides the fullness of God's Spirit. He is the one upon whom came the fullness of God's anointing. The Bible shows this to us in Acts 10:38, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”

The Bible also tells us in Colossians 2:9 “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” This means Jesus being the Christ was a physical embodiment of Divinity. All of God was fully expressed in Christ.

Isaiah the Prophet prophesied about the Messiah that was to come that the fullness of God's Spirit would function in Him in Isaiah 11:2 saying, “And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;” Jesus Christ had the Spirit of God upon Him without measure (John 3:34).

CONFESSION
Dear Father, I thank you for bringing the revelation to me of Jesus as the Christ. I thank you Father for according to your word in Colossians 1:27, which says that, “… Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Therefore I declare that because Christ lives in me, the fullnesss of the Godhead lives in me and the glory of God is manifested through my life. Amen.
