Ephesians 1:17
_ _ A fit prayer for all Christians.
_ _ the God of our Lord Jesus — appropriate title here; as in Ephesians 1:20-22 he treats of God’s raising Jesus to be Head over all things to the Church. Jesus Himself called the Father “My God” (Matthew 27:46).
_ _ the Father of glory — (Compare Acts 7:2). The Father of that infinite glory which shines in the face of Christ, who is “the glory” (the true Shekinah); through whom also “the glory of the inheritance” (Ephesians 1:18) shall be ours (John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 3:7-4:6).
_ _ the spirit of wisdom — whose attribute is infinite wisdom and who works wisdom in believers (Isaiah 11:2).
_ _ and revelation — whose function it is to reveal to believers spiritual mysteries (John 16:14, John 16:15; 1 Corinthians 2:10).
_ _ in the knowledge — rather, as Greek (see on 1 Corinthians 13:12), “in the full knowledge of Him,” namely, God. |
Ephesians 1:17
That the Father of that infinite glory which shines in the face of Christ, from whom also we receive the glorious inheritance, Ephesians 1:18, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation — The same who is the Spirit of promise is also, in the progress of the faithful, the Spirit of wisdom and revelation; making them wise unto salvation, and revealing to them the deep things of God. He is here speaking of that wisdom and revelation which are common to all real Christians. |
Ephesians 1:17
(18) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of (u) glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the (x) knowledge of him:
(18) The causes of faith are God the Father enlightening our minds with his Holy Spirit, so that we may embrace Christ revealed to us in the Gospel, to the obtaining of everlasting life, and the setting forth of God's glory.
(u) Full of majesty.
(x) For it is not enough for us to have known God once, but we must know him every day more and more. |
