What does it mean for Christ to have power over all flesh?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's power over all flesh signifies His sovereign authority to give eternal life to those the Father has given Him.

In John 17:2, Jesus speaks of the authority given to Him by the Father, stating, 'For Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him.' This proclamation identifies Jesus as the sovereign Lord who possesses ultimate power and authority over all humanity. It is important for Christians to recognize that this power is not arbitrary; rather, it is tied to His redemptive mission. Jesus’ ability to grant eternal life is directly linked to His role as the mediator, ensuring that those who are given to Him by the Father will surely be saved. This understanding fosters deep trust in His promises and encourages believers to respond with faith.
