Anointed One
And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us. -2 Corinthians 1:21

Jesus has been anointed by God to serve as the Savior of the world, and we are saved through His sacrifice on the cross, and by His glorious resurrection. And now, Christ has anointed us! A lot of times, our human spirit may interpret that to mean we are due to receive earthly riches, but that is not what anointed means. What it actually means is much greater!
You have been anointed as a child of God, whose sins are forgiven, and who has received the gift of eternal life. You have received a gift that keeps on giving, that never runs dry, or never fades away. You have been anointed in Christ! You are His!
Prayer:
Dear God, you have anointed me to be Your child in Baptism. Thank you for this gift that provides me with certainty in the promise that you have kept for me in Jesus. Help me to continue to live out my Baptism by loving you with all my being and serving my neighbor. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
