Aim: To be a church that anticipates great things from our powerful risen Christ.
Doctrine: The powerful risen Christ attracts the attention of everyone. This is because all of creation is beholden to Him, and the Father has put everything under His (Jesus') feet.
Exegesis: The progressive reign of the powerful risen Christ: He triumphs over the material world and all its maladies (vv. 11-12); He is crowned the King by His Father in heaven (vv. 13-15); His realm grows every day through gospel faith in Him (Jesus) (v. 16).
Further application: How we are to go from ''amazement'' to sound understanding of the risen Christ: by believing the truth of divine history, and by willingly submitting ourselves to Jesus (by grace through faith).
Key verse: v. 16 ''And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.''
