The deep unity between the Father and the Son is displayed in love, honor, and the Son’s perfect submission to the Father. The Father, in His great love, will give all things into the hands of the Son, and the Son, in his delight to please the Father, will rule not as a usurper but as the appointed King. The throne upon which Christ will reign for a thousand years is ultimately the Father’s, entrusted to the Son for his righteous rule. Even in his exaltation, Christ will remain humble, knowing that the kingdom is his by the Father’s will. As the Psalm declares and Hebrews affirms, the Father acknowledges the Son’s standing, even calling him “O god.” Yet at the consummation of all things, Jesus, the Son, in perfect submission, will return the kingdom to the Father, that God may be all in all. And still, Jesus the Son, the Lamb will forever be at the center of the throne, reigning alongside the Father in eternal glory, the radiance of divine love never fading. Jesus the Son, died for you and for all. The Father has made His Son, Jesus, forever the Lord and the Christ, having raised him from the dead to live forever.
