Ephesians 3:6
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:”
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.
