Description

  • First prayer was for God to give them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation
     
    • That they may know Him and the hope that is in Christ because of His resurrection and authority.
  • Second prayer was for Spiritual strength
    • So Christ can dwell in their hearts because of their faith
    • To comprehend the complete love of Christ
  • For this reason
    • What reason?
      • We are one in Christ; Jew/Gentile
  • Paul kneeled before God
    • Abraham stood [Gen 18:22 ]
    • Solomon stood [1 Kings 8:22 ]
    • David sat [1 Chronicles 17:16 ]
    • Jesus fell on his face [Matt 26:39 ]
    • No defined posture we are to use to pray
    • We must “bow” our hearts and wills to God
  • Comprehend the width, length, hight and depth of Christ’s love
    • The volume of Christ’s love 
      • Taking our sins to the cross as a sinless man.
      • So that we can live can live for eternity.
  • Paul concludes the prayer with giving all the glory to God through Jesus Christ
    • Christ is our mediator to God
  • Paul prays for Spiritual strength to fully comprehend Christ’s love understanding that God’s power is much greater than anything we can ask or imagine.
