The Anointed One


Isaiah 11:2, 9-10  
2 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.   9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea.  10 “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.”

The Christ (Messiah) was told to come so that all nations could seek Him, resting in Him in such glory.  This is why the Gospel must be told to all peoples - so they all can know The Lord across all the world.  Then we all can know His wisdom, might, counsel, and fear of the Holy one.  Finding Him, or rather being found by Him, we find understanding and rest forever.  He is the Anointed One, the Messiah with God's Spirit (Luke 3:22, John 4:25).
