Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
The instruction to pour anointing oil upon the head fell from the lips of Jesus Christ Himself as He educated His church in the wilderness. In that setting Christ was outlining God's expressed will for His people. That outline was not confined to that generation, for it holds God's covenant with the people He is seeking to save today. It states the terms of salvation for those living now.
It therefore provides the education of most value today. It gives correct lessons from Christ as the greatest of all Teachers. It is to be kept as one definite object before students. It is to be learned by practical working out for present and eternal good.
