An Astounding Assertion

September 5

Ephesians 1:20 makes an astounding assertion regarding the power of God. We who believe acknowledge that God has phenomenal power, power beyond our ability to imagine. How can we who walk within the limitations of our flesh begin to fathom the awesome power of the One True and Living God?

Ephesians 1:20 tells us how—“He demonstrated this power in the Messiah by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavens.” The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are well-documented. We can begin to grasp the magnitude of God’s power by looking at Jesus–risen from the tomb!

Another amazing aspect of that power that spoke and the worlds came into being, that moved upon the dead body of our Messiah and life was restored, is the promise that Jesus gave to His followers in John 14:12 where He said they would do greater works than He had done because He went to the Father.

We must take Jesus, the living Word of God, at His word. He said it and it is so. Is anyone sick? Pray for healing! Is anyone without the necessities of life? Let him pray for the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills to provide his need. Is anyone lost? Let him turn to Jesus who came to seek and save the lost.
