Answer · The Right Hand of God

Does 1 Corinthians 15 mean Jesus stops existing?

The passage describes the completion of redemptive administration, not the erasure of Jesus Christ.

Direct answer

No. The mediatorial kingdom and subjection of the Son reach their goal, but the risen Jesus remains the visible revelation of God.

What ends

The Son's mediatorial reign over enemies reaches completion when death is destroyed.

What remains

Jesus remains the glorified Lamb and eternal high priest. The role reaches fulfillment; the risen Christ is not annihilated.
