1:19,20
Paul’s extolling of the greatness of God’s power, and that power for us continues. The greatness of His power is immeasurable. We cannot think too highly of God, nor put too much trust in Him. And that power is towards us who believe. We need to have faith.
And the power is in accordance with the power He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead. And seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places. This is the second mention of the heavenly places. Remember that this is the place of spiritual conflict, and in that place Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
1:21
Christ is seated “far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named”. There is nothing with any power or authority anything like Christ’s, there is no comparison. And this applies in this age and in the age to come. We need have no fear at all.
