The Anointing with the Holy Spirit: How the Christians in the Bible Began their Ministry
We see how important to Jesus it was to begin His ministry with the baptism of the Holy Spirit in Matthew 3:16 where it says, “the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.” That was His personal baptism with the Spirit, His anointing that enabled Him to do His miraculous ministry. As far as the inspired account goes in Matthew and the other three gospels, Jesus did no ministry, certainly no miraculous ministry before this event. This is what equipped Him with power to do what He did. The same had been true of His famous forefather David. Before David killed Goliath, wrote a psalm, or was Israel’s greatest king: “the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.” (1Samuel 16:13) Before Jesus healed anyone, or cast out a demon, or preached a sermon, trained disciples, or did anything in ministry, the Spirit of God came upon Him. We cannot possibly have the ministry of Jesus without this anointing of the Spirit.
In this study we will look at how important this anointing with the Spirit was to the followers of Jesus in the book of Acts. They got this from Jesus before He left. One of the places Jesus gave the Great Commission is in Luke 24:45-49 where Jesus said, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of the Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endured with power from on high.” They had the message and they had the mission: Christ suffered and died, so go to all nations and preach repentance and removal of sins through His name.
