The Power At Work in Us

How great is the power at work in us? Ephesians 1:20–23 prepares us for the morning sermon in public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these four verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that the power that is at work in us is the power that is at work in Christ. The devotional expounds on Ephesians 1:20-23, emphasizing that the same mighty power which raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at God's right hand is actively at work in believers. This divine strength flows through the profound union between Christ and His Church, establishing believers as members of His body and heirs to His glory. The text contrasts Christ's supreme authority over all spiritual powers with the intimate, marriage relationship He shares with the Church. Understanding this reality dispels doubt and discouragement by revealing that believers share in Christ's victorious life through grace. The devotional concludes with a prayer for spiritual illumination to grasp the depth of this union and the sustaining power available to those who believe.
