Ephesians 1:17-23 NIV
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
I am writing this to myself as much as you to anyone.
My prayer is to know HIM better. To know the hope to which I am called.
The Riches and incomparable power. Yet that is not the primary goal. It is the by-product of knowing HIM.
I know myself by knowing HIM.
Verse 22 claims everything is under Christ’s feet. And in the same breath says, Church the assembly is the body, Christ is head.
Is the feet part of body? Yes…
So everything is under the assembly (who belong to the body of Christ).
Think about it. Ponder on it for today. What does it mean?
