18. My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all God's people.
19. I want you to know about the great and mighty power that God has for us followers. It is the same wonderful power he used
20. when he raised Christ from death and let him sit at his right side in heaven.
21. There Christ rules over all forces, authorities, powers, and rulers. He rules over all beings in this world and will rule in the future world as well.
22. God has put all things under the power of Christ, and for the good of the church he has made him the head of everything.
