I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. 

This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. 

Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT

God's power, the power that brought Jesus through death, isn't ours to wield or use like some light saber or mystical force. 

This power, God's power, is going to bring us through death too, defeat death, and usher in Life, Life we just get glimpses of now.

How does this Life after life work?

I don't know. 

But we can look at Jesus who turned up on the beach and cooked breakfast for his friends after he death had been defeated. That sounds pretty good. 

Restoration.

Shalom.

Communion.

Paul knows these ideas are hard to grasp so prays that his readers will understand, will little by little get it, that their future is in the care of our Loving God, who's power has broken the power of death over us, cancelled it, nullified it, it no longer applies.

This is truth we can rest in today, we don't have to fully get it, to rest in it.
