Christ's dominion is affirmed through His resurrection and the acknowledgment of His authority throughout Scripture.
The truth of Christ's dominion is fundamentally affirmed by His resurrection. The Scriptures unveil His glory as King, especially through His accomplishments at the cross where He conquered sin and death. Thomas Brooks once noted that Christ is lovely in every aspect, including His position as King. Ephesians 1:17-21 shows that God raised Christ and seated Him above all principality and power. The reality of His sovereignty is also observed in how He governs the affairs of men and nations, continually working all things for the good of His people. This unwavering control asserts that not only is He sovereign, but that His kingdom is secure and everlasting—an essential truth for believers.
