What does it mean that the government is on Christ's shoulders?

Answered in 1 source

It signifies that Christ bears the authority and responsibility over all things, including His church and creation.

The phrase 'the government shall be upon His shoulder' from Isaiah 9:6 indicates that Christ bears the weight of authority and dominion over all creation. This encompasses His governance over the church, where He is depicted as the head (Ephesians 1:22). By ruling over all principalities, powers, and mights, Christ ensures the well-being of His people and the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan for salvation. In a world fraught with uncertainty, Christians can take comfort in knowing that Christ reigns sovereignly, exercising control and protection over every aspect of life, thus providing peace and assurance to His followers.
