Isaiah 61: Prophet Anointed Like a Priest&King, Build&Sprout Up -- 2019/12/19 - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Steven Theiss, retired pastor in Frohna, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 61.

What does it mean to say “the LORD has anointed me” as in Isaiah chapter 61? Typically only kings and priests were anointed by God in Israel. Yet after the Babylonian invasion of Judah, there was no king or high priest left remaining in the land. In even greater audacity, when our Lord Jesus read these words and said that He was fulfilling them, there were a king and a high priest—Herod and Caiaphas, appointed by the Romans!All authority comes from Jesus Christ, and all authority in the church comes from His Word. God’s people are a holy priesthood not because everyone makes up their own mind, but because we all listen to the authoritative voice of the Anointed One as He speaks through those He calls and ordains.
