24 – Jesus' Divine Annointing

Isaiah 11:1–2
1 And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit. 2And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah (ASV, 1901).
As the second person of the God Head (The Trinity) the Lord Jesus is the Divine Root in the lineage of David. He is also the offspring of David in His human manifestation. He is fully God that entered a human body so He is also fully human. His Divinity is described in verse two. The shoot and branch, are indeed the King Messiah. When our Lord Jesus first came to establish His kingdom, He demonstrated that first it is a spiritual kingdom. Isaiah received this message regarding the Spirit of the Lord resting on the Lord Jesus which is describing the third Person in the Trinity, and proceeding from Him. Human reason, however, cannot begin to understand the Trinity. Human logic can't explain it either. The word itself is not found in the Scriptures, but the doctrine is plainly evident in the Scriptures. The Trinity is perhaps better known as the God Head. It consists of three persons with distinct personalities and individual roles but all in their essence are God. One simple example is the concept of natural gas. When it first emerges from the earth it is comprised of multiple individual gasses such as methane, pentane, butane and others. Each has a different heat value and is used for different applications such as welding, small candle lighters, home heating and food preparation. So, while they do different types of work they all are in their essence gas.
