Psalm 22:28
Psalm 22:28
For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church speaks to the supremacy of Christ in the church and in all things. Jesus is the head of the church, and all things are under His authority. The church, as the body of Christ, is called to submit to His leadership and to follow His example. This verse affirms that Christ’s authority is not limited to the church but extends to all of creation. Everything is subject to Christ’s rule, and His headship ensures that the church is guided and protected by His wisdom and power. For believers, this verse challenges us to submit to Christ’s lordship in all areas of life. Christ is the ultimate leader, and His rule brings peace, direction, and purpose. This verse calls Christians to align their lives with Christ’s leadership, recognizing that He is the ultimate authority in their personal lives, in the church, and in the world. By submitting to Christ’s authority, believers participate in His kingdom and advance His purposes on earth.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Colossians 2:15
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Hebrews 1:13
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
