Christ Giving up the Kingdom

* * * The question has been raised, for which 1 was not prepared at the time, how far the giving up of the kingdom involved the giving up of His lordship over all things - His personal superiority (I do not merely mean divinity - that is clear). I apprehend, not. I have looked a little into it in Eph. 1 and Col. 1, but am not at the end of inquiry so as to teach, even if called for. What say you?
Ever affectionately yours.
New York,
April 4th, 1867.
