Why is it significant that Christ's government is on His shoulder?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's government being on His shoulder signifies His sovereignty and control over all creation.
In Isaiah 9:6, the phrase 'the government shall be upon His shoulder' emphasizes Christ's absolute authority and divine sovereignty. This means He oversees all events in the world and orchestrates them according to His will. The assurance that Christ governs not only offers believers peace amid chaos but also affirms that He fulfills His promises. As the ultimate ruler, He will bring about justice and righteousness in His kingdom, ensuring all things work together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Understanding Christ's sovereignty helps believers trust in His plan and providence in their lives.
