Did Jesus Triumph?
Did Jesus triumph and begin his messianic reign at his death and resurrection, or is he waiting for some future event to do so? Did Jesus triumph over his enemies on Calvary? Did he conquer his enemies and begin his reign following his resurrection from the dead? Most of us would answer, “Well, of course, he did!” Yet certain common interpretations, if taken at face value, intentionally or not, deny that he did, that his reign will not commence until his return in glory.
