Knowing Jesus as Christ.

Knowing Jesus as Christ.
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ…”
Matthew 16:16

To say that Jesus is the Christ means He is the Messiah, the Anointed One, the one in whom resides the fullness of the Godhead bodily. The fullness of God's Spirit and the anointing dwells in Him. The Bible shows this to us in John 3:34(CEV), “The Son was sent to speak God's message, and he has been given the full power of God's Spirit.”

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

Isaiah the Prophet prophesied concerning the Messiah in Isaiah 11:2 that the fullness of God's Spirit would function in Him. He said, “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 has the Spirit of God upon Him without measure. He is the Christ, the Anointed One.

Confession:
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the revelation of Jesus as the Christ. With this understanding, I declare according to your word in Colossians 1:27, which says, “… 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.
