Col. 1:19 ...In him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.
While visiting old friends I introduced them to a family tradition of mine. Ignoring the conventional food groups, we instead had large bowls of popcorn and apple slices for a Sunday evening supper. They were delighted and we chomped away until we were stuffed.

Food is what we usually think about when we hear the word fullness. We like our bellies full, whether from a Easter Feast, a Christmas Dinner, or just popcorn on a Sunday night. Christ understood this. He had compassion on thousands who came to hear him speak, and allowed his disciple to pick grain on Saturday when they were hungry. He was invited to dinners and feasts, and had supper with friends on the last night of his earthly life.

But Jesus made it clear that he had greater food to give. He is the Bread of Life. He gives the living water. His body and blood are the spiritual food we need for forgiveness. Because of Jesus’ perfect life, the fullness of God was pleased to dwell in him. Because the fullness of God will never be depleted, he has the power to give grace and mercy to all who believe.

Just as we look forward to our unconventional dinners we can also look forward to a time when we will be filled as Christ was. Paul prayed for us in
Eph. 3 , and we too pray “...that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith...that you will know the love of Christ that surpasses all understanding and that you may be filled with the fullness of God.”
