When circumstances unsettle us or when life presents trials, to whom do we turn? Remembering Jesus Christ and His absolute supremacy can provide the believer great comfort, Alistair Begg emphasizes. Jesus’ work didn’t stop at the cross. He continues His ministry of reigning and ruling over the entire universe. When believers view the victory and supremacy of Christ as the basis for their safety and security, we can rest on His providence and rely on His power to navigate difficulty.
15For this reason, mbecause I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love6 toward all the saints, 16I ndo not cease to give thanks for you, oremembering you in my prayers, 17that pthe God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, qmay give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18rhaving the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is sthe hope to which he has called you, what are tthe riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, uaccording to the working of vhis great might 20that he worked in Christ wwhen he raised him from the dead and xseated him at his right hand yin the heavenly places, 21zfar above aall rule and authority and power and dominion, and above bevery name that is named, not only in cthis age but also in the one to come. 22And dhe put all things under his feet and gave him as ehead over all things to the church, 23fwhich is his body, gthe fullness of him hwho fills iall in all.
