ALL POWER TO THE SON

KO E MAFAI KOTOA MA’AE ‘ALO

EPHESIANS 1:22

And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church

‘EFESO 1:22

pea na‘a ne tuku ke ‘i he lalo va‘e ‘o‘ona ‘a e me‘a kotoa pē; pea ne foaki ia ke ‘ulu ki he Siasi ‘i he me‘a kotoa pē; 

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko Kalasi pe   

For the Father has given all power to the Son, that by His hand He may govern, cherish, sustain us, keep us under His guardianship, and give assistance to us. And indeed, His sitting at the right hand of the Father has the same meaning as if He was called the Viceregent of the Father, entrusted with the whole power of government. For God is pleased, mediately (so to speak) in His person to rule and defend the church. Thus also His being seated at the right hand of the Father is explained by Paul to mean that "he is the head over all things to the Church, which is his body" (Ephesians 1:20, 22). Nor is this different in purport from what He elsewhere teaches, that God has "given him a name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:9-11).
