A friend of mine was staying with some very rich people at their house, and he asked them how they cleaned branches off the top of the screened in pool, and the lady looked at him and said, "We have people for that."
Powerful people delegate. They send other people to do things, particularly unpleasant things.
Jesus is the most powerful person that has ever lived. Paul is speaking here of the immeasurable greatness of Christ's power. Christ is above all rule and authority and power and dominion, with all things under his feet. Do you get the picture of Christ's power?
This is the same Jesus who ascended the cross to die for you. Such is his love, there was no delegating. Christ did it on his own, because he wanted to be sure that your sins were forgiven. Atonement needed to be made, and there was no delegation. Christ did it himself, because he loves you.
