The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them who are bound ( The first nine Verses of this Chapter present the Messiah and His People. Actually, the Speaker in Verse 1 is the Messiah Himself, as He proclaims His First and Second Comings. That the Speaker is the Messiah is proved by Lk.4:16-21. The "Anointing" of Jesus was the Sanctification of His human nature by the Holy Spirit, which commenced in the womb of the Blessed Virgin [Lk.1:35], which continued as He grew to manhood [Lk.2:40,52], which was openly manifested at His Baptism, and never ceased till He took His Glorified Body and Soul to Heaven. That which the Father anointed Him to do addressed itself to every aspect of life and living. In Truth, Christ Alone can address these problems, which means that humanistic psychology holds no answers); (Isaiah 61:1)
