The Fullness Of Him - Ephesians 1:22-23

Ephesians 1:22-23 ESV 
And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

The church is above all things other than Christ. We are part of Christ with Him as the head. We participate in the Divine plan that He foreordained before time began. 

The Greek word translated as "fullness" could have translated as "completion". Love is perfected, or made complete, when it enters the body of Christ. This is the fullness of God that was pleased to dwell in Jesus and the fullness that is pleased to dwell in the body of Christ.
