A Good Anointing

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Spirit and with power,
who went about doing good and
healing all who were oppressed by the devil,
for God was with Him.”
(Acts 10:38)

When people think of the ministry of Jesus on earth they typically recall the miracles He did. Things like healing the sick, casting out demons and raising the dead. These are most certainly true and did take place, but Luke, the author Acts makes an interesting notation to Jesus’ ministry. He said, Jesus went about doing good to all. Moreover, Luke says that He was anointed to do good by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Reflections


 Have you ever considered asking God for an anointing to do something good for someone?


 Take a few moments and meditate on Acts 10:38. Then spend some time talking to God. Ask Him to anoint you with the Holy Spirit to do good.
