Commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:25

Theological / Devotional

He must reign. That is, it is necessary, in accordance with God’s plan (see Ps. 110:1; Matt. 22:43, 44), for Christ to continue reigning until the complete subjugation of all God’s enemies. That it is Christ who subjugates the opposition is clear from 1 Cor. 15:24. Verses 27, 28 show that He does this under the Father’s mandate.

He hath put. That is, the Father (v. 28).

Under his feet. This corresponds to the “footstool” of Ps. 110:1, from which psalm the apostle freely quotes.
