Our Ministry of Hope
1:17”I keep asking that the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,
may give you the Spirit of wisdom and
revelation, so that you may know Him better.
18I pray also that the eyes of your
heart may be enlightened
in order that you may know
the hope to which He has called you,
the riches of His glorious
inheritance in the saints,
19And His incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is like the working of His
mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ
when He raised Him from the dead 20and seated Him
at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
21Far above all rule and authority,
power and dominion, and every title
that can be given, not only in the present
age
but also in the one to come.
22And God placed all things under
His feet
and appointed Him to be head over
everything for the church,
23Which is His body, the fullness
of Him
Who fills everything in every way.”
Ephesians 1:17-23 NIV
