After stating the God given position Jesus has in heaven, Paul explains this supreme authority by listing several categories (Ephesian 1:21-23). They include those in Heaven, on Earth, and even the church. Paul states this authority is permanent; it is not only for “this age, but also [for] the one to come.”
By using the phrase “far above,” Paul is stating that there is no authority above Him. The authority Jesus has is superior to government’s authority, those who have the right to rule in government, those who are commissioned to enforce the laws of the government, as well as those who have “dominion” over any person. Every government and every person working for a government is ultimately under the authority of Jesus.
