Hearts Enlightened - Ephesians 1:16-20

Ephesians 1:16-20 ESV 
I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,

One can only be truly enlightened by the Father of lights, the light of the world. The eyes of a heart quickened by God can "see" the light at this time. Worldly eyes are unable to perceive the hope, richness, or His power that lie in Christ. 

He is raised up and sits on the mighty throne of God. There He shines in the unimaginable light of the Father. This is the light that shines on and in us. We are enlightened with the true light.
