Paul directs our minds to the present when he prays that we may see how vast are the resources of God's power open to all who trust in him. If we can see that power at work, we shall be less pessimistic about the future of Christianity in the world.

Because we do not see God's purpose of unity in terms of the survival of institutions; we see it in terms of the operation of God's power.
