Jesus has power over all flesh as affirmed in John 17:2 and demonstrated through His creation and authority.
In John 17:2, Jesus declares that the Father has granted Him power over all flesh, signifying both the rights and authority He possesses. This power is not limited to physical beings but extends to spiritual dominion as well, assuring believers that nothing is outside of His control. The Scriptures affirm Jesus' creative authority, as evidenced in Colossians 1:16, which states that all things were made through Him and for Him. The entirety of creation operates under His rule, and His power assures us that He can bring about salvation for His people, fulfilling all promises and prophecies. This perspective provides comfort and certainty that Jesus, as the sovereign Lord, exercises authority over everything that exists.
