We know that Jesus is God (John 1:1).
As God, He already rules all things. God is Sovereign; Sove-reign (Psalms 29:10; 47:2, Isaiah 45:9-10, Romans 9:19-21).
The point here is that God the Son as Jesus the Man reigns not because He is God.
It is because He conquered it by the Cross (John 16:33). He took it back from Satan.
God gave the word to Adam the first man and he in turn gave it up to Satan.
God is righteousness when He took it back from Satan by another Man.
God the Father gave Jesus the Man the power to take back the world and thereby given Jesus dominion over the world and subject all things to Him (Deuteronomy 8:18, 1 Corinthians 15:27-28, Ephesians 1:20).
We have been robbed right under our nose by the great deceiver. Yet we have no power to take back from him what is rightfully ours. We even became enslaved to him!
Now that Jesus has taken it all back for and to us, and freed us from satanic slavery, do we not behold him as our Hero?
