Rulership in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism

rulership. Meta. In personal rulership the great ones exercise authority; he who rules lords it over his subjects. In spiritual rulership he who serves best is greatest, and is therefore ruler through true merit (see Matthew 20:25-28). Jesus Christ is the greatest ruler the world has ever known because He served humanity best, even to overcoming death itself; through His demonstration the way to eternal life was opened to humanity.
