"And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing."
Isaiah 10:27
The name Christ in the Greek is the same as the Hebrew Messiah and means Anointed One.
In the Old Testament, there was a special anointing for kings and priests which foreshadowed one especially anointed by God, who would one day arrive on the scene and deliver His people.
Jesus is that Anointed One.
He is our King, exalted to the throne and ruling and reigning at the right hand of the Father.
He is our High Priest, who ever lives to make intercession for us before the Father.
The anointing is a very powerful thing, it lifts the burden off of us and completely destroys the yoke.
The anointing of Jesus is healing for us, it removes the burden of sickness and destroys the yoke of disease in our lives.
"God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him"
Acts 10:38
