What Does 1 Peter 3:22 Mean?
Peter follows Christ from the cross to the throne. Having died, been made alive, and gone to the spirits, he is now gone into heaven and seated at the right hand of God, the place of highest honor and authority.
Every power in the universe, angels and authorities and powers, has been placed under him. The One who suffered as the just for the unjust now reigns over all. For readers facing hostile powers of their own, this is the final word of the section: the Christ they follow into suffering has already triumphed and rules above every force that could threaten them. Their suffering Lord is the sovereign Lord.
