The New Testament links the enthronement of Jesus to his resurrection and ascension by applying key Messianic texts to him. He qualified to reign because of his “ obedience unto death .” This was confirmed when God raised him from the dead and seated him “ at His right hand ,” making this Crucified man both “ Lord and Messiah . ” He now rules over the Cosmos as King and Sovereign – (Acts 2:36).
