How do we know Jesus' sovereignty is true?

Answered in 4 sources

The sovereignty of Jesus is confirmed through His miraculous works, including healing the leper and authority over creation, as seen in Matthew 8.

Jesus Christ's sovereignty is vividly illustrated in the Gospel of Matthew, particularly in the account of healing the leper in Matthew 8. When the leper approaches Jesus, his statement, 'If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean,' acknowledges not just Jesus's ability to heal, but also His authority to choose to do so. This signifies that Jesus operates not by necessity, but by His sovereign will. Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus commanding nature, casting out demons, and forgiving sins, which all affirm His divine authority. The ultimate demonstration of His sovereignty culminates in His resurrection, asserting dominion over death itself, thereby establishing Him as the sovereign Lord over all creation.
