The Indwelling Christ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by laith; ... ye being rooted and grounded n love.—Eph. iii. 17. We have here the second step of the great staircase by which Pauls fervent desires for his Ephesian friends climbed towards that wonderful summit, of his prayers— which is ever approached, never reached,— that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Two remarks of an expository character, will prepare the ~way for the lessons of these verses. The first is as to the relation of this clause to the preceding. It might appear at first sight to be simply parallel with the former, expressing substantially the same ideas under a somewhat different aspect. The operation of the strength-giving Spirit in the inner man might very naturally be supposed to be equivalent to the dwelling of Christ in our hearts by faith. So many commentators do, in fact, take it; but I think that the two ideas may be distinguished, and that we are to see in the words of our text, as I have said, the second step in this prayer, which is in some sense a result of the strengthening with might by the Spirit in the inner man.
