"I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can see something of the future He has called you to share.
I want you to realize that God has been made rich because we who are Christ's have been given to Him!
I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great His power is to help those who believe Him.
It is the same might power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place on honor at God' right hand in heaven, far far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader."

~ Ephesian 1:18 - 21 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Having been raised from the dead, Christ is now the supreme head of the church, the ultimate authority over the world. Christ is the Messiah, God's anointed One, the One Israel longed for, the One who would set their broken world right. 

"As Christians, we can be confident that God has won the final victory and is in control of everything. We need not fear any dictator, nation, death, or Satan himself. The contract has been signed and sealed, we are waiting just a short while for delivery. Paul says, in Romans 8:37 - 39, that nothing can separate us from God and His Love."
