Paul’s constant prayer for believers was that God would give us his Spirit so that we can know the hope, riches, and power he has for us.
Although the nations are constantly in rebellion against the Lord, he has established his Son as King over the whole world.
Although the first anointed king tried to kill the second one, the Lord protected his anointed, as he always does.
Once Jesus ascended on high, he sent the Father's promised Spirit to light up the church and empower her for her mission.
