To Usward

Psalm 40:5
Many, O Lord my God, are Thy wonderful works which thou hast done, Thy thoughts which are to us-ward. . . .

Did you notice this phrase in Ephesians 1:19,. . . the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe. . . ?
All the demonstration of the glory of God shown in the manifestation of His omnipotence pointed to man ---"you as ward. "
The Cross of Christ--- with what is revealed of obedience to God atonement for sin, and crushing defeat for the enemies of divine authority shows us a representative Man.
Christ was our Representative, our Substitute overcoming for mankind and preparing a throne and a heavenly ministry for those who should overcome through Him
The source of our authority is therefore found in the resurrection and seating of Christ by God. In the Book of Ephesians, we learn that God wants the Church to gain revelation knowledge of all that this means to us.
