Prophet, Priest, and King

Olive oil was used to anoint:

• the prophet, who delivers God's word
• the priest, who is the People's representative to God
• the king, who enforces God's word

The Spirit of the Lord anointed Jesus - Luke 4:18

Jesus:

• while on Earth, functioned as prophet, delivering God's word
• now at the right hand of God, functions as priest, interceding for the people
• when he returns, will return as triumphant king, enforcing the righteousness of God
