SPIRIT … ON HIM / MATTHEW 3:16

(KJV) Matthew 3:16

And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

Everything Jesus did – His preaching, His healings, His suffering, His victory over sin and Satan’s power – He did by the power of the Holy Spirit. Even though He was fully God, He willingly laid aside and limited His rights and privileges as God. In becoming fully human, He had to operate the same way we must – as people dependent on God’s Holy Spirit. If Jesus could do nothing apart from the power of the Holy Spirit’s power (Luke 4:1-2; Luke 1:14; Luke 1:18-19; John 3:34; Acts 1:1-2; Acts 10:38). The Spirit equipped and worked powerfully through Jesus to accomplish God’s plan of restoring His relationship with all people (Luke 3:21-22). Jesus Himself would later baptize His followers with the Holy Spirit so that they too might have the Spirit’s power to accomplish His purposes for them (Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:5; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4).
