JESUS THE GOD-ANOINTED MAN

Harold Molter

Jesus is the great standard-bearer of Truth for all mankind. Throughout his earthly career he lifted on high the banner of spiritual thinking and acting and demonstrated the nature of true manhood. He is the Way-shower for all men, leading the way out of the flesh into the pure atmosphere of Spirit, where man is found to be the son of God.

Jesus never claimed that he was God. He rebuked a man who referred to him as "Good Master" with these words (Matt. 19:17): "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." He referred to God as his Father and our Father.

Born of a virgin, Jesus inherited a material body from his mother. His pure, sinless mentality he inherited from God, Spirit. It was the sinless nature of his consciousness, expressed in everything that he said and did, which earned for him the title of the Christ, or the Anointed. This very title, the Anointed, indicates that Jesus was not God, but was endowed or imbued with the very nature of God.
