First Baptist Church Thomson, Ga

Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:15–23 is that believers would have their spiritual eyes opened to see more clearly what God has already given them in Christ. Thankful for their faith in Jesus and love for one another, Paul prays that they would know God more deeply and understand the blessings that are already theirs: the hope of His calling, the riches of His inheritance in the saints, and the immeasurable greatness of His power toward those who believe. That power is dramatically displayed in Jesus Christ, whom God raised from the dead, seated at His right hand, exalted above every authority, and made Head over the church. Our great need is not simply for God to give us more, but for Him to open our eyes to know Him better, see what we have in Christ, and live in light of it.
