We know Jesus is sovereign because Scripture confirms that all authority has been given to Him in heaven and on earth.
The sovereignty of Jesus is grounded in biblical scripture, particularly in Matthew 28:18, which asserts that 'all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.' This declaration of authority signifies His control and governance over creation and His church. Furthermore, His nature as God assures us that His exercise of power is suited for the exercise of redemption, enabling Him to act effectively on behalf of His people. Through His divinity and the fulfillment of prophecy, we see His sovereign will accomplished in history and individual lives.
