What Does Ephesians 1:20 Mean?
The measure of God's power is the empty tomb. The same might Paul prays the church would know was 'wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead.' Resurrection is the supreme demonstration of a power that reverses death itself.
God then 'set him at his own right hand' -- the place of highest honor and authority. Christ is not merely alive again but enthroned, exalted to the very seat of divine rule. The risen Lord reigns now, and the power that lifted Him from death and to the throne is the power at work in those who believe.
