Fullness in Jesus Christ

14 April 2011

Colossians 2:9-10 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have come to fullness of life in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, the whole fullness of God dwells in Him. Jesus Christ is God and cannot be separated from God, God is One in Jesus Christ, just as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit is One. There is One God, revealed to us as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Oneness of God dwells in Jesus Christ in the whole or complete fullness of all that God is.

When we come to Jesus Christ, believe in Him, follow Him and worship God in and through Him, we to come into the fullness of life in Him. We are no longer empty, we are not half empty but completely filled with life in Him. We are full of life and we live life abundantly as we have come into the fullness of life. Being filled with life, we live lives that are filled with the life that Jesus Christ brings, love, joy, peace, hope, encouragement, gentleness and so on. Because we know that Jesus Christ lives, so we know that Jesus Christ lives in us through the fullness of His deity the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is the Head of all rule and authority, all that was, all that is and all that is to come. We submit to that authority, trust that authority and live according to that authority; in so doing we know that we are one with Jesus Christ in every way, His life, His death and His resurrection. We do what pleases Jesus Christ and not that which pleases the world.

Be encouraged today to be filled with life abundantly

David
