Last week, we learned from Paul the nature of the blessings which are ours in Christ. Paul the Apostle now gives thanks to God for Gentile conversion and assures them of his prayers inverses 15–16. Paul goes on to pray that God will give the Ephesians that wisdom and knowledge of Himself. Paul reminds them and us that it is the Spirit who is the author of this wisdom and knowledge in verse 17. In verses 18-19, Paul’s prayer is that their eyes might be enlightened properly to understand the nature and value of that hope which is founded in the call of God, the glory of the inheritance to be enjoyed among the saints, and the greatness of that power which had already been exercised in their conversion. The power which effects our spiritual resurrection is the same power which they experienced, and that was the same power which raised Christ from the dead.
