Ephesians 5:23
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.”
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.
