Q.42. Why was our mediator called Christ?

A. Our mediator was called Christ, because he was anointed with the Holy Spirit beyond all measure.[1] Consequently, he was set apart and completely equipped with all authority and power[2] to execute the offices of prophet,[3] priest,[4] and king of his church,[5] in both his humiliation and his exaltation.
