This may be the most amazing sentence in the Bible:
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.” (Colossians 2:9-10)
To fully appreciate what that says, answer these questions:
First, according to this verse, how much of Almighty God lives in Jesus? Answer: All the fullness of the Deity! All, every part of God’s “fullness!”
Second question: How much of the “fullness” of Jesus is available to those who have surrendered to Him? Same answer. Oh, wow…
The chances are pretty good, if you have fully trusted Jesus, you have not been fully aware of His fullness in you. But knowing you have His fullness is the first step to accessing it. I just got a new Android phone, which came loaded with all sorts of special, tricky things it will do for me – provided I know how to access them and turn them on. Which, of course, I can not do unless I know they are there! One of the tricky things my phone will do is let me ask it questions about what other things it is able to do. Such as, “Can you tell me how to get to Home Depot?” Jesus comes into you with that feature already installed. Not how to get to the hardware store, but the ability to show you how to understand and use your new operating system, His life in you. If you need to know how to use Him, just ask. He will show you. Because you have all His fullness, you have access to all the fullness of God through Him. In real time!
Astonishing…
