Christ's Finished Mission

Commentators stress that when Christ 'delivers up the kingdom,' it signifies the successful completion of His special mission as Mediator. This is not a loss of power or status. Rather, having conquered sin and death, His specific redemptive work is done, and He presents the perfected kingdom to God the Father, bringing the plan of salvation to its glorious conclusion.
