Jesus, immediately after he's baptized, after he's anointed, right? So the anointed one is the Messiah, right? That's what it means. That's what Messiah means. It means anointed one. Christ means anointed one. They're waiting for the new anointed one, the new David. Now, we just have been listening about the life of David and then Solomon for the last number of days. But why?

Because David is the prototype for the true anointed one, the new, the eternal anointed one, Jesus Christ, the great Messiah. But what's the role of the anointed one? Remember, that David's role was, he was anointed. Yep, that doesn't just mean people serve you at your palace, on your throne. That means you've been anointed to go and fight for your people. This is exactly what Jesus does.

He gets anointed by the Holy Spirit descending upon him. The Father claims him and says he's proud of him. And then immediately, immediately the spirit drives him into the wilderness where he does battle with Satan. He does battle with Satan. And then, gosh, these keep reading. He gathers together the apostles, the first disciples, and then he keeps battling, right?

He goes and does these exorcisms. And this is one of the things, it's such a huge reality to have a biblical worldview. It means we do see things the way the Bible tells us that reality is. What's one of the ways that this world is under slavery to Satan. This world is under slavery to the evil one. And Jesus came not just to teach and not just to heal and not just to preach. He came to save us.

He came to deliver us. He came to fight against the evil one. What scripture calls the strong man who has bound us and he binds up the strong man. And this is exactly what Jesus does right away. He's the anointed one. He is the king. He is the Messiah. And what does he do? Immediately, he begins to fight against what fights against us. And so, yes, there is healing of physical ills.

There's healing against mental illness. That actually gets its own credit here in the scriptures. And he also fights against demonic oppression. And this is absolutely important for all of us to receive this because the biblical worldview is that the world is under bondage to the devil. But Jesus Christ has come to set us free. So we can either belong to the kingdom of darkness, right?
