Jesus proclaimed God as having ultimate power over the final destiny of all creation. Yet he did not claim that God was the sole power in creation or that God intended to be such.

      Jesus and Power

      The God Jesus Proclaimed

      There were significant tensions in Jesus’ proclamation of God. A first relates to the nature of the power associated with the reign of God, mentioned above. On the one hand, Jesus proclaimed God as all-powerful, all-knowing, and constantly present. Yet he also described people as having freedom in relation to God, and God as having desires and intentions that depended to some extent on human freedom for their fulfilment. While Jesus proclaimed God as having ultimate power, he did not proclaim God as having the only power, or as desiring to be the only one with power.
