The Fullness

Colossians 1:19-20 (ESV Strong's)

19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.


Jesus emptied Himself to be born a man. The fullness of God came to dwell in Him at His baptism when the Holy Spirit descended from heaven and remained. 


That fullness of God was emptied when He became the sin of the world. He died as a man filled with the wrath of God, our due for disobedience. 


Mark 15:34 (ESV Strong's)

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
