How do we know Jesus has authority over all flesh?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus asserts His authority over all flesh as part of His divine nature and mission to grant eternal life to the elect.

In John 17:2, Jesus states that the Father has given Him authority over all flesh to grant eternal life to those whom the Father has given Him. This affirmation underscores the divine sovereignty of Christ as the King of kings and Lord of lords, demonstrating that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. The assertion reflects His role in accomplishing redemption, which was established before the foundation of the world. It assures believers that their salvation is secure due to His governing power over all. Jesus's acknowledgment of His power reinforces His significance in fulfilling the promises of God for His people.
