Jesus Controls All Flesh

[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. John 17:2

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. Colossians 1:16

For in this city there actually met and plotted together against Your holy Child and Servant Jesus, Whom You consecrated by anointing, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and peoples of Israel, To carry out all that Your hand and Your will and purpose had predestined (predetermined) should occur. Acts 4:27-28

We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. Romans 8:28

It is easy for us to accept and believe that Jesus is active in controlling the flesh of those who have been empowered to accept Him. But the glorious Truth is that Jesus controls all flesh. He even controls the flesh of those who do evil. The worst of the worse, Jesus is in control of them as well. Look at what the Holy Spirit tells us, our Father anointed and consecrated both Pilate and Herod to carry out His will of torturing and killing Jesus. We also read in the Old Testament that our Father was in control of Pharaoh and hardened his heart to keep on attacking the Israelites. 

The peace of the Truth of Jesus being in control of all flesh is this: everything works out for our good. Hardships bring a faith and trust in people like nothing else can.

Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. Romans 5:3

The Truth that Jesus even controls the evil people of this world also brings us great peace. It brings us peace because the wicked can only do what our Lord permits and allows them to do. Even satan, the father of the wicked, is controlled completely by Jesus. When the devil wanted to attack the Apostles, Jesus told him no, Luke 22:31. Jesus will never allow us to be tempted above that which we can stand, 1 Corinthians 10:13. So relax in the peace that Jesus is even in control of the evil people.
