And when Jesus appeared, the devout
Andrew said to hits brother, We have found
the Measias, which is being interpreted the
Christ, or the Anointed.
In view of the offices which Jesus was to
bear, it was proper that Jle shpujd be
anointed for He was to be, as we hare seen,
both Kiug and Priest. * The Lord thy God
will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the
midst of thee, of thy brethren, Title unto
me : onto him shall v* hearken, (l)eut. 18;
15.)
It is, however, remarkable- (hat. though
called emphatically thk Anqjntko, m vir
tue of hi* being preeminetitly exalted in
his triple office, Jes'i s does m>f appear from
the record ever To have been anointed w ith
oil. The bmiiliion'may have been designed
to prevent a superstitious observance on
the part of His followers, ever too prone tq
adbpt an! attach Undue Importance to out
ward forms; or it may have been because
tiie unmeasured enjoyment' of tire essence
took away even the appearance ofYhe ne
cessity of exhibiting the type. From w hat
ever reason, it is certain that vve know qf
no anointing that Jesus received hut’by thp
Spirit of God. : ; "• ; '
On the day of Pentecost, Peter declared
to the Jews,* r Let ell the house of Israel
know assuredly, that (rod hath m *b. tit
same Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord
and Christ.' (Anointed.) Acts 2 : o<>. —
A fvv days afterwards, the apostles, praying
so God, declare, ‘Of a truth against thy
Holy child Jesus, whom thou hati anointed,
both Herod and Pontius Pilate, With th*
Gentiles and the peoplfc of fsrael, were gh*
thered A6ts 4: 2T. ! Pete? again,
to ChrheHus and his oompattjf,‘says that
■God anointed Jesus of with the
