Raised Together
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"And
what is the exceeding greatness of his power, which he wrought in
Christ, WHEN HE WHO RAISED HIM from the dead, and set him at his own
right hand in the heavenly places, AND YOU hath he quickened, who were
dead in trespasses and sins" (Eph. 1:19-20, 2:1).
If you were to open your Bibles to Ephesians 2:1, a King James Version
would look something like this: "AND you hath he quickened, who
were dead in trespasses and sins."
When a word is italicized in the King James Version, that means the word
is not in the original manuscripts; the translators have added it. So
the original reads, "And you who were dead in trespasses and sins."
I wanted you to see that the verb which controls Ephesians 2:1 is back
in Ephesians 1:20! (Paul didn't write in chapter and verse; men divided
Paul's writings later for easy reference.) Our text today makes it
clearer for you.
Notice the capitalized words: "WHEN HE, GOD, RAISED HIM, Christ, from
the dead. AND raised YOU…who were dead in trespasses and sins."
The same verb that expresses the reviving of Christ also expresses the
reviving of Christ's people! So the mighty act of God which raised
Christ from the dead also raised His Body!
Confession: The same mighty Power that raised Jesus from the dead
also raised me!
