A man sits in a Roman prison cell. Chained to a guard. No freedom, no platform, no influence by any measure his culture would recognize.
And from that cell, he writes a prayer. Nine verses. The most audacious claims about power in the entire New Testament.
He prays for people whose lives are going well. And he asks God to open their eyes.
To see a hope rooted in the oldest story his people know. An identity that most Christians have completely backwards. And a power so enormous that Paul stacks four Greek words on top of each other because one can't hold it.
This is Ephesians 1:15-23. And once you see what Paul wants you to see, you can't unsee it. #Ephesians #BibleStudy #Prayer #PaulTheApostle #NewCreation #Theology #ChristianFaith #OverlapLife
