Who Is the Christ of Christ?
Posted January 11, 2009
Hi Mike,
Mike, is it possible to explain to me the following:

"Now we come to "the first begotten of the dead..."Jesus Christ, and His Christ are both
"the first begotten of the dead." We are His body which is still on this earth and not yet "out of
the world."

Is God the Father the Christ of Jesus Christ?
Kind regards,
R____

Hi R____,
Thank you for your question. I think you are quoting something from the website:
Now we come to "the first begotten of the dead..."Jesus Christ, and His Christ are both

"the first begotten of the dead." We are His body which is still on this earth and not yet "out of
the world."
...and then you ask:
Is God the Father the Christ of Jesus Christ?"
The answer is, no, the Father is not the anointed of Christ, rather Christ is anointed of His
Father, and we as Christ's elect are Christ's anointed."
Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me [Christ], because he hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to
the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
God the Father "anointed and sent" Christ. Christ now tells us that He has anointed and sent
us just as His Father anointed and sent Him:

1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Joh 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me,
even so send I you.

Read the study notes on the Dallas 2007 conference entitled The Christ of Christ. That study goes into depth, demonstrating that Christ has sent His elect to do the same thing His Father sent Him to do. The depth of this truth leads the spirit to these statements:

1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment:
because as he is, so are we in this world.
Luk 10:16He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and
he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

So Christ's elect are His anointed, because the word 'Christ' simply means anointed. Christ has anointed His elect and has sent them as His Father sent Him. But it is always the one who is sent who is anointed by the one who does the sending, so there is no way the Father could ever be Christ's anointed:

Heb 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of
the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ is God.
We are, on the other hand, are blessed and sent by Christ and because of that are the
anointed of Christ \u00ad the Christ of Christ:
Act 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same
Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Christ is both Lord and Christ, and as such now has His own Christ:
Act 4:26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together againstthe
Lord, and against his Christ.
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying,
of 00
