CHRIST ABOVE ALL
Ephesians 1:15-23; 3:14-21

Min: After I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

Min: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

Min: Which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

Far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Min: And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Min: From whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

Min: That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height

To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Min: Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
