I have wondered what Paul means by 'a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him'. As I began arcing it looked to me like he explained this in the following verses. In other words having the eyes of your heart enlightened to know.... is unpacking 'a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God'. What he wants us to see with the eyes of our heart and know are the hope He has called us to. At this point I am thinking that the inheritance and the power are two components of the hope, though they could be three distinct things. I have arced the last two as components of hope but I am not fully convinced. And then the power is expounded on in the according to phrase which is then expounded on in a long temporal statement of God's power in the raising and seating of Christ above all. What moves me here is how much Paul (God) wants believers to know, experience abundant assurance of God's hope, inheritance and power for them. He doesn't want to leave them in the dark but to know more and more fully.This is apparently central to knowing God. It seems that Paul goes to great lengths in 13 - 14 to let them know that they are included in the blessings in Christ when he changes from 'we who were the first to hope in Christ' to 'you'. Now, by sharing his prayer for them he reveals more and more of his deep desire that they deeply know. He so wants them to know. He so wants us to know. I feel a need to explore more deeply the verses of hope, inheritance and power.
