What does 1 Peter 3:22 mean?

Jesus has ascended to the highest place of honor and authority in heaven, where he now sits at God's right hand. This position means he's been given complete power over all spiritual forces and beings, including angels and every authority in the universe. The image reassures us that nothing in heaven or earth exists outside his ultimate control, which is meant to comfort us when we feel overwhelmed by the forces working against us. Peter is reminding his persecuted readers that their suffering happens under the watch of a Christ who reigns supreme over all creation.
