2:20 anointed by the Holy One. “Christ” means “Anointed,” referring to the unique office of Jesus as God’s Savior. God anointed Jesus directly with the Holy Spirit to be the consummate Prophet, Priest, and King (Acts 10:38; Heb. 1:1–9). Believers also have prophetic, priestly, and kingly responsibilities and are anointed with the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 1:21, 22) for these duties (1 Cor. 12).
