In the first part of Ephesians 1, Paul reminded his readers of the benefits that were theirs in Christ Jesus. With that encouragement in mind, the apostle turns to prayer, not for their health or wellbeing but that they would know the power of God. Alistair Begg reminds us that God demonstrated His power toward us in the work of Christ on our behalf. He is our risen, exalted, and reigning King. We can come to Him with the assurance that He cares for His own, and we can make disciples in the confidence that Jesus is all that He claims to be.
