Eph 1: 19 – 22 (CEV): - I want you to know about the great and mighty power that God has for us followers. It is the same wonderful power he used when he raised Christ from death and let him sit at his right side in heaven. There Christ rules over all forces, authorities, powers, and rulers. He rules over all beings in this world and will rule in the future world as well. God has put all things under the power of Christ, and for the good of the church he has made him the head of everything.
Christ is victorious. Jesus is in control. Jesus is in charge. Jesus is head over everything. Our God reigns!
This means that God uses his power in Christ for the good of his people, the church.
Christ rules all things that the church may grow in numbers, in faith and in maturity.
Christ rules all things that we may grow in love and joy and service and will be ready for eternity.
Christ rules! Our Jesus reigns! Our Redeemer is in control. Our Saviour, who died, now holds everything in his crucified hands.
Yes, even me! And you.
