I. Confirmation in the Economy of Salvation
1286
In the Old Testament the prophets announced that the Spirit of the Lord would
rest on the hoped-for Messiah for his saving mission.90 The descent of
the Holy Spirit on Jesus at his baptism by John was the sign that this was he
who was to come, the Messiah, the Son of God.91 He was conceived of the
Holy Spirit; his whole life and his whole mission are carried out in total
communion with the Holy Spirit whom the Father gives him “without
measure.”92
