1Corinthians

{15:23} But every one in his own order: the firstfruits, Christ: then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
{15:24} Afterwards the end: when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father: when he shall have brought to nought all principality and power and virtue.
{15:25} For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
{15:26} And the enemy, death, shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith:
{15:27} All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.
{15:28} And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Can someone explain this passage, particularly the bold text?

DR Bible Haydock commentary.

Ver. 24. &c. Afterwards the end; i.e. after the general resurrection of all, will be the end of the world. Then Christ shall deliver up his kingdom, as to this world, over all men, over the devil and his apostate angels, signified by principalities and powers; not but that Christ, both as God and man, shall reign for all eternity, not only over his elect but over all creatures, having triumphed by his resurrection over the enemy of mankind, the devil, over sin, and over death, which is as it were the last enemy of his elect. At the general resurrection, Christ will present these elect to his heavenly Father, as the fruits of his victory over sin and death; and though as man he came to suffer and die, and was also made subject to his eternal Father, yet being God as well as man, he is Lord of all, and will make his faithful servants partakers of his glory in his heavenly kingdom. (Witham)

Ver. 28. The Son also himself shall be subject to him. That is, the Son will be subject to the Father, according to his human nature, even after the general resurrection; and also the whole mystical body of Christ will be entirely subject to God, obeying him in every thing. (Challoner)

Cool.
What does Challoner mean when the human nature of Christ will be subject to the Father because Christ is a Divine Person and also now that He has ascended into glory, why would His human nature be inferior to His divine nature.
