The Fullness of Christ

For all that I knew about Christ, I know none.
For all that He is, is nothing I am.
For all that He is not, is everything I am.

Christ is…………………………I am…
The first born…………………………the creature
Image of the invisible God…………………………alienated from God
Before all things…………………………enemies to God
The head of the body…………………………blemished & accusable
All fullness dwells…………………………not at peace with Him

For all that He reconciled on the cross through the death of Christ’s physical body, is all in His fullness dwelt.

This is the kind of passage must read with imagination of how grand and majestic it is Paul is trying to describe the supremacy of Christ. It is like watching a clip with Paul’s baritone voice narrating the scripture while the clip precludes with a rolling back of the dark at the first streak of dawn while the sun rises above the horizon, and the shimmering edges of the clouds glow brighter and brighter as the dawn rolls in. The little bird breaks through the egg shell just to have the first peek of the world while the rain drops on the drought land at afar. A close up of a rose bud flourishing and dying, and a field of sunflowers turn as the sun arches across the sky at a snapshot. Then, stand at the feet of the mountain gazing at the vast creation of God. How great thou art! “For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him…” (Col. 1:15-23)
