Filled with the entire fullness of Christ

 Colossians 2:9-10

9 For the entire fullness of God’s nature dwells bodily in Christ,

 10 and you have been filled by Him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

What a thought, that the ENTIRE fullness of God's nature dwells bodily in Christ - and that we have now been filled by Him. In other words, the entire fullness of God's nature then also, through the Holy Spirit, now indwells us.  Remarkable.  Far too big a thought for me that the God who created the universe, who rules and reigns over every ruler and authority, has thought it good to indwell us with all of Who He is.  

A friend and I had a profound discussion last night after we returned from a weekend camp.  We were talking about God's faithfulness and our own unfaithfulness to God.  She said something to this effect: "When we are unfaithful it reflects on our character, but when we do not believe God - it speaks to His essence - then we reflect our own unfaithfulness onto Him, portraying Him as unfaithful.  He, however, cannot deny Himself and He is never unfaithful"

So the point to ponder for this week is:  Do you and I believe God when He says the entire fullness of God's nature dwells in Christ with Whom we have been filled through His Holy Spirit?
