Christ's Mediatorial Kingdom
Commentators explain that this verse refers to Christ's specific 'mediatorial' reign. This is a temporary, though essential, phase of his rule with the specific goal of conquering all enemies, including sin and death. As Charles Spurgeon clarifies, once this mission is complete, Christ will deliver this kingdom to the Father, a transition that fulfills his mediatorial role without diminishing his eternal divinity.
