What does it mean that Jesus is exalted after His resurrection?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' exaltation signifies His authority and sovereignty as Lord, confirmed by His resurrection.

The exaltation of Jesus after His resurrection indicates His ultimate authority and the fulfillment of God’s plan for salvation. Philippians 2:9 states, 'Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.' This exaltation emphasizes that Jesus, who humbled Himself unto death, is now placed at the highest position, affirming His lordship over all creation. It assures believers that He holds power over life and death, and that every knee will bow before Him. His exalted status brings comfort to believers knowing that He is in control, guiding the universe according to His sovereign will.
