Lesson

**Paul’s Prayer**

- Paul prays that God would move, and reports this prayer to those he prays for.

- *For this reason… I keep asking… that you may know…*

  - Friendship… 

  - Hope… 

  - Inheritance… 

  - Power…

**Paul’s Thesis**

- Jesus is more powerful than anyone or anything else in this...

- God’s unparalleled power has been manifested in Jesus.

  - unsurpassable greatness of his power… 

  - working… 

  - of the might… 

  - of his strength.

- What else does he say about this power?

**Questions for Discussion and Reflection**

- Why do you pray for people? Why do you tell them that you’re praying for them?

- How do your prayers for people compare to Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians?

- What difference does it make to call this the thesis statement? How does it relate to the rest of the book?

- How hard is it for you to believe that Jesus is the most powerful person in this universe over which he rules? Why?
