TEXT: EPHESIANS 1:15-23
POWER FOR BELIEVERS SIMILAR TO THE RESURRECTION
Paul was very enthusiastic about the way the Ephesians embraced Christ and took time to support and nurture them with prayer and careful explanation of the superior power they possessed in Christ (vs. 15-16). Ephesus was a city full of idolatry, with different gods being worshipped.
Paul endeavoured to quicken their understanding of their new status in Christ, and that they should no longer be afraid of their backgrounds. He prayed that God “may give unto them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him” (vs. 17).
Man is always afraid of unknown powers that can ruin their lives because they have no assurance of greater power.
Paul made them understand ‘the exceeding greatness of God’s power towards them the moment they place their faith in Christ.’
QUESTION
Do you believe that Christ’s power is available for you now more than ever before?
PRAYER
Give me the understanding to know and trust that Your power is always available for me to live my life with the boldness of the Spirit, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
