“In Him [the Lord Jesus Christ] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him” (Colossians 2:9-10).
Our first verse today is a short sentence, but it is a most profound statement. We may read it quickly, but it is an amazing fact. The Lord Jesus became a man, but at the same time He was fully God. He was just as much God as He was before He became a man. We cannot understand this; it is a secret that we humans cannot fully “wrap our minds around.”
Yet, when we know the Lord Jesus as Savior, and when we are united to Him as His body and His bride, we are “complete in Him.” More than this, we do not need anything else in order to live for God’s glory in this world. In the verse before this, the Apostle Paul talks about things like philosophy and the traditions of men, and sometimes we are tempted, as Christians, to get our advice and direction in life from these sources. But nothing can compare to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is not only a man, but also God Himself. He can guide us much better than anyone else in this world.
