Ephesians 2:10
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
Χριστός
The one set apart and equipped for a specific task. Oil was poured on kings, priests and prophets in the Old Testament — the anointing meant: this one is chosen, this one is sent. Jesus stands up in Nazareth and reads Isaiah — and then says: this is Me. I am the one sent.
