Bible Question (short): Clarifying "handing over the kingdom" |
Question (full): 1 Corinthians 15:24 claims that a day will come when Christ will hand over the kingdom to the Father. I can't help but wondering in what sense the kingdom is handed over. It can not be a complete end to the rule of Christ, because we know from many passages such as Daneil 7:14 and Luke 1:32,33, Isaiah 9:6,7 that this isn't the case. Unless we should understand it to be teaching that the kingdom is the eternal thing but not the rule of Christ. I'm less inclined to believe that. But it must in someway be a handing over of the kingdom, for it certainly means something! Does anybody have a very helpful commentary on this? In Christ, Beja |
