Jesus is the Christ, but what is this Christ? He is the Father’s solution to leaders rebelling against the authority of the Father, the answer to leaders undermining the ultimate divine authority of the Father, the answer to leaders rejecting the authority of those appointed and sent by the Father with authority over them. The Father first set the very famous ancient Israelite King David up as His own appointed, anointed king in the holy hill of the Father, Zion. (See Psalm 2.) David was as a son to the Father in living and ruling righteously. He pleased the Father and did not rebel, and was the Father’s answer to the constant rebelling by other rulers. However, this ancient King David died. David was not the eternal solution. The Christ is the eternal equivalent of this king David. The Christ had to die to be raised up eternal by the Father. Then the Father will eventually, and actually quite soon now, put everything under the feet of the Christ, causing all to submit to him, and when all are no longer rebelling, no longer undermining the authority of this Christ sent by the Father, no longer rejecting his authority, then the Christ will subject himself to the Father eternally. This will complete the solution to the rebellion. Then the Father will forever be God all in all, with the Christ ruling at His right hand, forever with the Father on His eternal throne. This Christ, who is anointed because he is worthy as the true Son of the Father, died for you. His death was not only a prerequisite for resurrection and immortality of that resurrection; it was a sacrifice turning aside the wrath of the Father over our sins, and providing for the spiritual purification of our lives, so we can be purified by the heavenly Holy Spirit the Father sends, that as purified people we can live lives which are no longer damnable, and be holy for the unity we gain with the Son, made right in the Father’s eyes, justified. It is for those who believe and hold to this gospel. We thus become workers together with the Father and the Son built up into a living temple for the Father and Son’s glory. We thus come into fulness of knowledge of the Father and the Son, in ongoing fellowship while we hold to their teachings and these truths about them, leading to eternal life.
