Now, by the power of God is to be understood that by which He is strong; by which He appoints, restrains, and governs all things visible and invisible; which is sufficient for all those things which He rules over in His providence; among all which He is present, as if one individual. And although the breath of all this mighty and immeasurable power, and the vigour itself produced, so to speak, by its own existence, proceed from the power itself, as the will does from the mind, yet even this will of God is nevertheless made to become the power of God. (Book I, Chapter 2, Part 9)

What is the nature of power we perceive in the life of Jesus?

Certainly there was strength... and wisdom... and courage... and vigor. Was there might?

Did Jesus appoint, restrain, and govern? Did Jesus rule? In some ways, yes. But in the more typical meaning of these terms, not so much.

Origen has described Jesus as a full expression of God, sized to our limited powers of comprehension. If so we might understand God's power to be humble, self-restrained, loving, gentle, and vulnerable.

It is a power that infuses but does not control.
