The Summation of All Things in Christ

Studies in Ephesians with a Local Church Emphasis

Lesson 13 : Confessional Material in Praise of God’s Power in the Resurrection and Exaltation of Christ  (1:19-22)

Four different connotations of ‘power’  –  ‘As a measure, in proportion’ of His power  –  Internal and external power  –  Power in love and grace  –  Was 1:20-23 originally part of an ancient creed or hymn?  –  Christ’s resurrection power available to believers  –  Raising Christ from the dead and sitting Him at the right hand of the Father  –  Jesus Christ sits on the throne of the universe  –  Jesus Christ is above every ruler and authority and power and dominion  –  Christ’s foot is ‘on the necks’ of satanic beings  –  Christ more than rules, He conquers  –  Believers are in a spiritual battle with fallen angelic beings  –  The victory has already been won
