What Does 1 Corinthians 15:28 Mean?
Paul reaches the goal of the whole drama. When everything has been brought under Christ, the Son himself will be subject to the Father who gave him this dominion. The end of all things is 'that God may be all in all,' the unrivaled fullness of God filling everything.
Here the Son's loving submission crowns the victory. Father and Son act in perfect accord, and the final state is one where God's presence and reign are complete throughout creation. For the reader, this is the horizon of hope: not endless struggle, but a renewed world wholly filled with God. Every knee will bow, and God will be everything to everyone.
