Titus chapter 2 verse 11, For
the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all
men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lust,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. The law could demand that, but
it could do nothing to enable us to do it. But the grace of
God does. It teaches us. Verse 13, looking
for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great
God in our Savior, speaking of one person, the great God in
our Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us that he might
redeem us, redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself
a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak. and exhort and rebuke with all
authority, let no man despise thee. One of our old hymn writers
wrote a hymn that contained these words. He was speaking honestly
from his heart, and he wrote, tempted and tried, I need a great
savior. tempted and tried, I need a great
Savior. And another one wrote, again
in honesty, if ever it should come to pass that sheep of Christ
should fall away, my fickle, feeble soul at last would fall
a thousand times a day. Do you ever feel that way? Do
you ever feel that way? I do, just being honest. it's no wonder in view of those
things that one of God's saint servants of old, the sweet singer
of Israel, David himself wrote, for thy name's sake, O Lord,
pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. My iniquity is great. But notice how the psalmist worded
his prayer, don't do it because I deserve it. Don't do it because
of any merit in me. But he directed his plea to the
God of grace and said, for thy name's sake, in other words,
for your own honor, for your own glory, do this great thing. Forgive my sin, pardon my iniquity,
for it is great, and do it for your name. Do it for your own
honor. Magnify your mercy in me. Magnify your grace in me by being
merciful. I need constantly, constantly. When I was a young believer,
I was told wrongly by older believers, people who had professed and
known and served God for many years, that as I grew in grace,
temptations would have less of a pull on me. Some people were
so foolish to even tell me that I could, by striving in myself
and denying certain things, whose religion pretty much consisted
only of touch not, and taste not, and handle not, and wear
not, and go not. That was pretty much the sum
and substance of it. But they told me by doing those
things, by refraining from certain things, that the old nature would
finally be eradicated. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? The old nature would be completely
gone. Hence, there would be no more
temptation. Now if a person in this world,
in this life, a believer, could arrive at such a state as that,
he wouldn't be tempted. There would be nothing for temptation
to appeal to. But the truth is, as long as
we're in this flesh, As long as we're in this world, we'll
cry with the Apostle Paul. He didn't know anything about
a nature that was eradicated. On the contrary, he prayed, O
wretched man that I am. Lord, notice how he said that.
Not that I used to be. Not that I was before I was saved. O wretched man that I am right
now. even writing these words at this
moment under divine inspiration, I count myself as a wretched
man. And I take my place with the
apostle, or even a lower place than him, and say again, I stand
in need of constant grace. I need a great Savior, don't
you? I need a great Savior. Anything
less than the great God and Savior that we just read of won't help
me. I need a Savior, a great God,
with grace greater, not just equal to, but grace that is greater
than all my sin. And oh, I turn to the Word of
God. Everywhere I turn and read about the triune God, Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit, I read that they have exactly the sort
of grace I need. Grace that can conquer and cleanse
within. Grace that is greater than all
my sin. I can rest in that. I can find
some comfort in that, can't you? This sort of grace, we quoted
it this morning from Romans chapter 5, even so might grace reign. reign through righteousness unto
eternal life. That will be the outcome of it.
That will be the consummation of God's reigning grace in Christ. It will issue in eternal life
by Jesus Christ our Lord. And the experience The experience
of that grace from that great God and Savior will produce this
response. It did in the prophet of old
from Micah. He wrote this. He stood in utter
amazement, in adoration, with a heart bowed down with appreciation
and in wonder at the mercy and the grace of God toward a sinner
like him. He said, I just can't get over
it. And he wrote these words. Micah said, Who is a God like
unto thee? Now when Micah wrote those words,
what did he consider? What was he considering concerning
God when he said, Who is a God like unto thee? Was he looking
out on God's creation? It is indeed a wonder, and a
greater wonder when we consider it simply is an indication of
the greatness of our God that He simply wielded into existence. No effort. No. Oh, He just simply willed it
into existence. Let there be light. And light
was. Light be is the literal translation. And light was. But that's not
what Michael was speaking of. He wasn't looking out on creation
when he uttered these words. Who is it God likened to thee,
the greatest wonder in the eyes of the prophet, concerning that
God of all grace was this? Who is it God likened to thee
that pardoneth iniquity? My soul, God high and lifted
up, condescends to have mercy on unworthy sinners." Micah said,
there's not a God like that. These so-called gods are not
like that. forgives the sins of His people
purely as a matter of mercy and grace. Nothing in the sinner
that attracts God's mercy. Everything that would repel it
if God were like you and I. Oh, and the prophet went on to
write, Who is a God like unto thee that partners iniquity and
passeth by? I like that. "...and passeth
by the transgression of the remnant," there's that word again, the
remnant, the elect, "...of his heritage. He retaineth not his
anger forever." Why? Because he delighteth. The great
and holy God delighteth to show mercy. He delights in mercy. He gives Him pleasure to extend
mercy to unworthy sinners. Who is a God like unto Thee? In answer to that question, it
certainly is not that God, and that's with a little g, it's
not that so-called God that can't do all that He wants to do. That God that people have heard
about today that is trying to do something. But Louis, he just
can't get the job done. He can't get the job done unless
I help him. Now, if God needs the help of
this weak sinner, he's in trouble and I'm in more trouble. Oh,
God doesn't need our help. Oh, no. A God that needs the
help of man doesn't sound extraordinary at all, does it? He doesn't sound
like a God to marvel at. He doesn't sound like a God to
adore. Certainly not a God to trust
with my immortal soul. He's not a God to worship, to
bow down to. Oh, but the God of Scripture
is. Who is a God like unto thee that
partneth iniquity? Oh yes, He's not ordinary. He's not common. He's God. He's high and lifted up. Turn
back, if you will, to Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 19. All the prophets,
without exception, when they spoke of God, they spoke with
a sense of wonder at His majesty. God, I can't comprehend Him. He's greater than I am. My puny
little mind just can't get a grip on this. God, where did He come
from people ask? He had no beginning. Everything
which we have to do has a beginning. and has a quick end. But God
says concerning Himself, I had no beginning. There was never
a starting place. I had no beginning. And He said,
I shall have no end. From everlasting to everlasting,
Thou art God. Now can your mind get a grip
on that? Mine can't, Joe. Mine can't. All it can do, all it can do
and should do is to bow down and worship and look up to Him
and exclaim, Hallelujah! Who is a God like unto our God? Isaiah 19 verse 20. And it shall be for a sign and
for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they shall cry unto the Lord
because of the oppressors. the children of Israel did when
they were in bondage to the Egyptians. And he shall send them a Savior. A Savior. Well, he better be
a big Savior. He better be a mighty Savior.
Because Pharaoh is a great warrior. Pharaoh is a great king. Oh,
but he's no match for this Savior. He's no match for this Savior
that God should send. And a great one. A great one. A great God and Savior we read
in Titus 2, and He shall deliver. He shall deliver. Who will stop
Him? Pharaoh, Pharaoh, are you going
to stop me? For this very purpose, Pharaoh,
the only reason you're around, the only reason you exist, the
only reason I allowed you to come to power is that I might
show my power in you. And when I'm done with you, you'll
be floating dead in the Red Sea. A great God and Savior and He
shall deliver You remember when the angel Gabriel appeared to
Mary and said, Mary, you'll have a son. Call his name Jesus. He shall be great. Call his name Jesus. The Joseph,
he said, call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people
from their sins. But prior to that, he told Mary,
call his name Jesus. He shall be great. Great. Oh, a great Savior with
great grace, great mercy, a great accomplishment, a great redemption,
great in every sense of the word, having all the great mercy that
this great sinner needs. Marry that one in your womb,
that child, that Jesus. He shall be great. Great in the
sight of God, great in fulfilling the demands of God's law, and
great in mercy to unworthy sinners. A great Savior works out a great
salvation, does He not? Turn back, if you will, to Exodus
chapter 14. We just read that verse referring
to the children of Israel being delivered by the great Savior
that God should send. And here we have a picture of
it. In Exodus chapter 14, God has parted the Red Sea. He just,
as they sang afterwards, He just blew. He just went... That's
all it took. And the sea parted. Moses and
the children of Israel walk across as on dry ground. Pharaoh and
his army attempting to do it, they're drowned in the Red Sea.
And here's Moses standing on the other side. Remember what
the master of the sea said? Let us pass over unto the other
side. And they passed over unto the
other side. Moses stands with perhaps as
many as a million, perhaps as much as three million people.
Every one of them safely brought across the Red Sea. And they
look, and there's Pharaoh's mighty army. His soldiers, his chariots,
their horsemen and pharaoh, floating dead in the sea. And in verse
30, here's their reaction. Thus the Lord saved Israel that
day. Thus the Lord saved Israel that
day. How did it happen, Moses? What
did you do? What part did you play? Did you
do your part and then God did His part? No, no, no. Thus the
Lord saved Israel that day. The Lord did it all. What did
Israel do? They cried and blamed Moses.
Why didn't you leave us in Egypt? What did God do? Tell them to
shut up and to see the salvation of the Lord. Thus the Lord saved
Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians. And Israel
saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. And Israel saw that
great work. That great work, this picture
of God's great salvation, which the Lord did, the Lord did it
all upon the Egyptians. And the people feared the Lord.
They stood in awe of Him. as they should, and believe the
Lord and His servant Moses." And we won't read it now, but
chapter 15 consists in a song of praise to God alone, because
salvation is God's work. What part? People say, what part? Every part. It's all of the Lord. Jonah cried from the belly of
the whale. Salvation is of the Lord. All of it. If I'm delivered out
of the belly of this whale, God's going to have to do it. I can't. Every part. And it is a great
work. A great work that lifts a sinner
out of the depths of his depravity. And not until we're in glory
and are known even as we are known. no longer looking through
a glass darkly, all but seeing face to face. Not till then shall
I know what a debt of love I owe. I'll see Him as He is, and I
will understand as I can't now, and appreciate as I can't now
just exactly what a great mercy and a great grace He had on this
unworthy sinner. And it doesn't give me any doubt
whatsoever that all crowns will be cast at His feet and every
Every mouth shall utter, and every heart will exclaim, He's
worthy! He's worthy! He redeemed us to
God! He did it with His own blood! We didn't do anything. He did
it all. Oh, what great grace! What a great work that left the
sinner out of the depths. Remember what we read earlier
in Psalm 130? That's the sinner's place. Out
of the depths have I cried unto you, O Lord. Out of the depths
of my sinfulness, my spiritual death, my helplessness. If I'm delivered, if I'm brought
up out of this pit, you'll have to do it. Out of the depths have
I cried unto you. And oh, what a work of God's
mighty grace that lifts the sinner out of the depths and takes him
all the way to glory. All the way to glory. All the
way. All the way my Savior leads me.
All the way. May God enable us again to behold
our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. If so, if so, we'll sing,
it is well with my soul. Oh, when I see by faith that
I've been entrusted into the hands of my mighty Redeemer,
I can sing, it is well, it is well with my soul. Notice verse
11 in Titus 2, it says, for the grace of God that bringeth salvation. How does salvation come to men? On what grounds is it realized? How is a sinner saved? How can
any sinner, how can any fallen son of Adam be reconciled to
God? How can God have anything to
do with a sinner? Much less pronounce that sinner
just and justified, accepted, how can it be? Paul says the
answer is this. It's the grace of God that brings
salvation. Nothing else will. It's been
tried. And it's been tried. Man's works
have been tried to bring salvation, and it's never done it. It brings
a false hope. It brings a delusion. It brings
a lie. But it'll never bring peace.
It'll never bring grace. It'll never bring us into a place
of acceptance with God. Grace has to do that. Because
that's a great work, and only grace can accomplish it. In every
age, In every instance, works can't bring salvation. It's been tried, as we said,
again and again, over and over, and it's failed again and again,
over and over. Turn, if you will, to Romans
chapter 7. Paul tells us the place of God's grace and God's
works, and they can abide together. not as a reason for the sinner's
acceptance before God. In Romans chapter 11, Paul writes
in verse 5, he says, even at this present time, I find a lot
of comfort in what Paul writes here. Paul found great comfort
in it himself when in Cornuth the Lord spoke to him and said,
Paul, don't you be afraid. Don't you be afraid. Speak. Preach
the gospel. Don't hold your peace. Why? Because
I have much people in this city. My word won't return void. Paul
speaks of that very thing here. Even so, at this present time,
also, there is a remnant, according to what? The election, based
on what? Of grace. An election of grace. And if by grace, and it is, then
it is no more works, otherwise grace is no more grace. But if
it be of works, then it is no more grace, otherwise work is
no more work. Have I told you The story about
my granddaughter, that six-year-old, one time I was at her house visiting,
and she was scheduled to go someplace, had somewhere to go, but it was
an hour away. But you know how children are.
She was concerned. And I was sitting there talking
to her mom, and she finally said, Pawpaw, we've got to go. She said, come here, Pawpaw,
I want to tell you something. So I got down, she whispered to
me, she said, Paul, Paul, if you don't leave soon, mommy will
kick you out. I said, say what? Mommy's going
to kick me out? She was concerned that she might
not get to her place in time. Oh, and Paul tells us here, grace,
God's unmerited, free, mighty grace, kicks works out the door. It's not of Him that willeth.
It's not of Him that runneth. It's of God that showeth mercy. And thank God it's so. That's
why we can preach to every sinner, go into all the world and preach
the gospel to every creature and declare, He that believeth
on the Son of God, without works, without merit, shall be without
question saved, saved today, saved tomorrow, blessed God,
saved throughout eternity, because salvation is not of works. It's all of God's grace. Paul said, for by grace are you
saved through faith, and that not of works. This passage in
Ephesians 2 is quoted all the time. Not of works. lest any man should boast." Look
what Paul says here in Titus 3, verse 4. He writes and says,
But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward
man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to His mercy He saved us. by the washing of regeneration
and the renewing of the Holy Ghost, which He shed on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace. We just read in Romans 11 that
our election was of grace. Paul says here that we're justified
by grace. And that will never change. That
will never change. The ground of our acceptance
before a holy God has always been, always been on the grounds
of grace. The grace that is in Christ Jesus. It always will be. It will never
change. Regardless of what I do or don't
do. Now a legalist will hear that.
They'll hear that preach and they'll say, oh my, that's horrible. You're giving people a license
to sin if you preach that stuff. Let me ask you, have you ever
met anybody that needed a license to sin? Have you? Oh, no. Oh, no. No, on the very
contrary. As John said, he that has this
hope in himself purifies himself even as he is pure. As we read
in our text, the grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness
and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously, and godly
in this present world. That's what grace teaches. Verse
7 of chapter 3, that being justified by His grace, I'll go home tonight
to Lord willing, lay down and before I go to sleep, I could
look back over this day and see how many evil, sinful thoughts
I had. how many times my mind wondered,
how little I thought about the God of my salvation, and if the
reason of my acceptance was dependent upon what I did, or how I acted,
or behaved, what I did or failed to do, I would have no hope whatsoever. Forget about it! Oh, but as long
as my hope is built upon the solid rock of Jesus Christ and
His merit and His worth and His righteousness and His accomplishments,
long as Christ is all and I'm complete in Him, the ground of
my acceptance is sure and steadfast and I can just go to sleep like
a baby. Right, Lonnie? Sleep like a baby. Why? Because my acceptance before
the Holy God is sure. It rests upon the person of Jesus
Christ. And he said concerning the person
of Christ, this is my Son. This is my Son in whom I am well
pleased. And if I'm in His Son, if I'm
in His Son, He's well pleased with me as well. Oh yes, I was
found of them, the prophet said, that sought me not. God speaking,
I was made manifest of them that asked not after me. This grace
of God, we read, bringeth salvation. Unsought, unasked, unmerited. Christ said, other sheep I have,
they're my sheep. God gave them to me before the
world began. That's why I came into the world.
I came not to do my own will, but the will of Him that sent
me. And He said, this is the will of Him that sent me, that
all which He had given me, I'm going to try to save. I'm going
to try to redeem. I'm going to do the best I can.
I'll go so far and leave it up to them to do the rest. He said,
oh no, I came down from heaven to do my father's will and this
is his will. Of all which he had given me,
I should lose none. None. He's a mighty Savior. He entered one time in the holy
place and took a stab at. That's not what it says, Joe.
It says He obtained eternal redemption for us. People talk about, preachers
especially, talk about Jesus trying to do something. The Bible
doesn't talk that way. It says He did it. He accomplished
it. He redeemed His people forever. Forever. And this is the one
that Paul speaks of. This mighty God and Savior that
bringeth salvation. Doesn't offer salvation. What
good is that, Louis? Is that good news? Not to a needy
sinner? Not to someone who really feels
his need of grace? That's not good news. Oh, but
Paul says, this Savior, this great God and Savior, He bringeth
salvation. Christ, the great shepherd of
the sheep, declares, I've come to seek and to save that which
was lost. And he does both. And he does
both successfully. Bringeth salvation, not if certain
conditions are met, not if I take the first step, not by simply
offering to save me, but he actually saves. Paul said he's able, he's
able. He's always able, brothers and
sisters. He's able to keep us, just as
He called us. He's able to preserve us, and
He's able to present us in the presence of God Himself without
a spot, without a blemish, without any such thing. He's able to
do that because He Himself is our great God and Savior. He actually saves to the uttermost
all that come unto God by Him. Oh, may God give me grace to
trust Him. Paul says, this great grace has
appeared to all men, that is, Jew and Gentile, men of every
tongue and nation and kindred and people. And verse 12 speaks
about the result of grace, how it teaches us. As Paul said in
2 Corinthians 5, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. A new creature. Behold, old things
are passed away. Everything becomes new. He's
not what he once was. Now a person can walk through
those doors and sit down and listen to me and get up and go
out and be exactly as he was when he came in. If he was lost
when he came in, he'd be lost when he went out. He can go get
into the pools of baptism. The waters of baptism would be
dumped. He'll raise up, he'll be wet,
but he'll still be lost. He can learn catechisms. He can
say prayers. He can get him a Bible and walk
around and try to look holy. and pretend to be a Christian,
but until he experiences the grace of God in his heart, he's
still the same old dead, lost sinner. Oh, but when the great
God and Savior comes to him and drops His grace in his heart,
says Lib, young man, young man, I say unto thee, arise, I'll
tell you what, the man or woman that experiences that will never
be the same again. Grace has made him to differ. and He'll never be the same again.
Grace all the works You'll crown through everlasting days. It
lays in heaven the topmost stone and well deserves the praise. The great God and Savior. Notice,
not a great God and Savior, like there might be another, but the
great God and Savior. There's not another. Look unto
me, he says, and be ye saved, for I am God, and there is none
else. Why do you pray unto a God that
cannot save? He says, look unto me. If you
look unto me, If you look unto me, you will be saved." Why? Because he's a great God and
Savior. And Paul tells us that is Jesus
Christ. Our Lord said, I am the way,
singular. The truth, the life, all singular. The only way to God. Thomas,
no man comes to the Father except by me. You can't come to God. You can't know God. You can't
be reconciled to God. You can't be accepted by God.
God will only be to you, outside of me, a consuming fire. He can't
be anything else. Oh, but if you come through me,
the mediator between God and man, if I take your hand and
bring you to the Father, you will be as accepted with Him
as I am myself. Oh, what a great God and Savior.
The only Mediator. And the Mediator's name is not
Mary. And it's not priest, or father,
or preacher. Oh no, it's Jesus Christ. The only Redeemer. He's the only
Redeemer. He really redeemed us. The only
substitute. Because it was He alone that
God made to be seen. God has made Him. Nobody else. To be sin for us, who knew no
sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. There's only one answer to the
question, how can a man be just with God? And Peter said there's
only one name God gives. Only one name under heaven, given
among men, by which we must be saved, and that is the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ. Turn back, if you will, to Isaiah
chapter 63. Isaiah chapter 63. The chapter
opens with a question. The prophet asked, who is this? Verse 1 of Isaiah 63. Who is
this that cometh from Edom with dyed garments from Basra? This
that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of
his strength. Who is this? Who can this be? And he answers, I that speak
in righteousness, mighty the same. Who is that? Who can that be? Who alone is
mighty the same? Who speaks in absolute righteousness? The great God and Savior, Jesus
Christ. Verse 2, Wherefore art thou read
in thine apparel? and thy garments like him that
treadeth in the wine fat?" And again he answers, I, I have trodden
the winepress alone, all by myself, and of the people there was none
with me, there was none with me, for I will tread them in
mine anger and trample them in my fury, and their blood shall
be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my garment.
For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my
redeeming has come. And I looked, and there was none
to help, none to help. And I wondered if there was none
to uphold, therefore, mine own arm. brought salvation unto me,
and my fury it upheld me." That's our Lord Jesus Christ. He is
that God and Savior that Thomas bowed to and said, my Lord and
my God. Do you need such a great God
and Savior? Do you require less? If so, you
must not be a great sinner. This great God and Savior only
saves great sinners. Because as the hymn writer Joseph
Hart asked the question, what comfort can a Savior bring to
those who never felt their woe? That's a good question. That
goes to the heart of the matter. And he went on to write, a sinner
is a sacred thing. The Holy Ghost has made him so. He strips him, Lord, in order
to clothe him, brings him down that he might lift him up. makes
him confess I have sinned, that he might pronounce his sins all
forgiven, that he might place upon him the ring of reconciliation,
that he might declare, bring forth the fatted calf, let us
eat, drink, and be married. This my son was dead, and he's
alive again. He was lost, hallelujah, now
he's found. Who found him? the great Shepherd,
who found Him, the great Shepherd of the sheep, who saved Him,
our great God and Savior, who alone can pronounce a sinner
forgiven in the sight of God. Only He can. Thy sins are forgiven
Thee, He says. Go in peace. I'm a great sinner. I can't deny
it. I'd be a liar if I did. Oh, but
He's a great Savior. Paul said, God has made Him to
be unto us righteousness and redemption, wisdom and sanctification. Everything I need, everything
I need, I found in Him. And Paul describes Him here as
that blessed, blessed hope. the blessed, looking for that
blessed hope and the glorious appearing, a good hope, a living
hope, a sure hope, all but a blessed hope. Simeon said, I can die
now. Child of God, we can. We can
die in peace. Simeon said, I've got nothing
else to live for. You've done what you promised.
You told me, you promised me God, before I left this world,
that I would see your salvation. And Mary brings in that little
child. And God said, Simeon, that's
Him. That's my salvation. And you
know what Simeon done? He took Him up in his arms. And
he said, Oh, let me die. Let me die. I've seen thou salvation. And we're not ready to die in
peace. We can't die in peace. We can't stand before God in
peace. We can't enter into peace now
or for eternity unless we've seen and with the arms of faith
reached out and embraced the Son of God. God's salvation. And by grace seen, He is mine
and I am His forever. Glory to His name. E'er since
by faith I saw the stream, Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming
love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. When this poor
lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in
a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy power to save." Turn, if
you will, to Ephesians chapter 1. finish the message by reading
Paul's prayer for the church at Ephesus. And it's my prayer
for you and myself. Paul in Ephesians chapter 1 verse
15 said this, Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in
the Lord Jesus, and love unto the saints, cease not to give
thanks for you making mention of you in my prayers, that the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give
unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of Him." Paul, you already said they possessed faith. They were
already believers. But Paul said, oh, I want you
to see more of Him. To see more of Him. As Paul wrote
in another place, I want to know Him. After knowing Him for years,
Paul said, oh, that I might know Him. Verse 18, the eyes of your
understanding be enlightened that ye may know. that you may
know, and this is my prayer, brothers and sisters in Christ,
for you and for me, that we may know what is the hope of His
calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance
in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power
to us who believe, according to the working of His mighty
power, which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead,
and set Him at His own right hand in heavenly places. far
above all principality and power, and might and dominion, and every
