Witness to Jesus 73
The Holy Spirit is given in immeasurable quantity to Christ. "For it is not by measure that he gives the Spirit."1 Jesus claims that the power to do wonderful miracles and to make a public witness of the coming of God's kingdom is given to him by the Holy Spirit. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.. to proclaim release to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind."2 Jesus is indeed electrified by the Holy Spirit and the power of God emanates from him.
The Holy Spirit is given to Jesus to witness to the promises made to the Jews and to bring in the Gentiles. "For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy."3 Miracles were performed by the power of God. "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs."4 Christ makes a witness statement that it is by the Spirit that he casts out demons. "But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you."5
