To understand the gravity of our identity in Christ is first to understand the enormity of the One in whom that identity rests.
Consider the implications of the title, "Him who fills everything in every way."
Consider the implications of the title, "His fullness."
Fathom the depth of deity expressed in the phrase, "...all the fullness of the God-head in bodily form."
Fathom the depth of endowment expressed in the phrase, "And you are complete in Him..."
Few of us have a hard time seeing Jesus as big...almighty, majestic, all-consuming; but somehow we believe a different Jesus lives in us, so we short-change our own identity in Him.
To get a clear picture of ourselves, we must come to terms with the fact that it is this Jesus, this glorified, majestic, preexistent and almighty, all-consuming and all encompassing Jesus, in Whom we have our being, and Who has come to live in us.
