"I pray that you will that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to those who believe in him. It is that same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right had in heaven far above any king or ruler or dictator or leader."

~ Ephesians 1:19 - 20 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 wrote in Romans that 'nothing can separate us from God and his love'."
