Verse 20

Sometimes when we ask that God would grant us more than we can ask or think, they are blessings outside us which we desire; but here it is blessings in us, it is the power of the Spirit in the church, this it is which sets the church in the height of her position, and makes us feel our littleness.
Verse 21.
What is said here does not relate to the fullness of the glory to come. The hope hangs on it; nevertheless, it is not the hope here which is in question, but the realization of the inner man, the habitation of God as a present, real thing. The essential thing exists already; and it is that which is most intimate and most exalted, namely, to be filled with the fullness of God; Christ who has finished all is there, the Spirit of Christ dwells in us. Paul sees in this verse all the extent of the counsels of God.
It is comforting for us, that this realization of the inner man should be wrought out by a power which works in us in the midst of the weakness of the vessel, because it is the will of God. What we have to desire is to be strengthened in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith, that we may seek the glory of Christ in the church, and that all glory should be attributed to Him, if so be we have understood that it belongs to Him. If it is asked, " Is the glory of Christ in the church?" we hardly know how to answer. God grant us to desire this glory!
