Ephesians 1:15-22

Eye has not seen nor ear heard what the Lord has prepared for those who love Him and accept His salvation and made us one in Christ Jesus. What a God I serve who created all things in His majesty and to His glory and is high above all that I think and feel BUT He still bends down to have a relationship and to give understanding of His mysteries with the likes of me. Praise and glory to the Triune Godhead…Father | Son | Holy Spirit.

It is all about Jesus, his birth, death and resurrection, who overcame sin and death through the power of the Holy Spirit to give us LIFE!

The resurrection of Christ from the dead was the expression of God’s power. The Resurrection is also proof of what God can do in us and for us. Christ Jesus was not only raised from the dead, He was given a position at the right hand of God. Jesus received this position as the Son of David in fulfillment of the messianic prophecies. Jesus Christ will remain at the Father’s right hand until the enemies of God have been subjugated and it is time for Christ to return.

Paul conveys the idea of desire, even a heart’s desire, primarily expressing emotion instead of volition. Thus God’s will is not so much God’s intention, as it is His heart’s desire. This plan was created in God’s counsel which means the result of deliberate determination. But behind God’s plan was not just a mastermind but a heart of love.

Ephesians 1:15-22

¹⁵ Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, ¹⁶ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, ¹⁸ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power ²⁰ which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

²² And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, ²³ which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

⁴ since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;
