The Fullness Of Him

Ephesians 1:15-23 (ESV)
¹⁵ For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
¹⁶ I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,
¹⁸ 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,
¹⁹ and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might
²⁰ that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
²¹ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
²² And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,
²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

Paul wishes for us that we would be able to fully comprehend what is ours in Christ. The breadth of our understanding can in no way approach the richness of this gift of grace, but with God’s help we can approach Him as we are able in spirit. It is in spirit we can come to our Creator through the Holy Spirit which He gave in addition to His Son. No longer do we just see the effects of the wind passing through the trees, but we are part of that cooling breeze. 

Such a mighty thing He did and is doing in Christ. All things are given to Him Who overcame. But look at what is says in verse 23. We are His body, the fullness of Him. He Who fills the believer is likewise filled by those same ones believing in Him, Who fills all in all. We partake in the life of Christ and become part of that life. We are one in the fullness of Him.
