Jesus (6)

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. One thing which pleased the Father.

Primary Text: Colossians 1v18-19
“And He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell;” Colossians 1v18-19 (KJV)

“He is the head of the body, which is the church. Everything comes from Him. He is the first one who was raised from the dead. So in all things Jesus has first place. God was pleased for all of Himself to live in Christ.” Colossians 1v18-19 (NCV)

“He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent]. For it has pleased [the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him permanently.” Colossians 1v18-19 (AMP)

The Dakes Annotated Reference Bible notes that – “In Christ alone, not in the philosophies, vain deceit, human traditions of the Jews and Gentiles, or the world principles will be found the fullness of the Godhead in reality, or bodily. Jewish institutions were mere shadows of the realities and of the redemption made through the offering of the body of Christ in sacrifice. … Christ is the personal and bodily manifestation of all the fullness of Deity. He was God incarnate and the manifestation of all the fullness of God’s power and blessings to men. The fullness of the Holy Spirit rested upon Him and worked through His body. The fullness of redemption from the Deity came through His body. This is why we become complete in Him and why He is the head of all principality and power.”

“For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2v9 (KJV)

“And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;” Isaiah 11v2

“For He is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God gives Him the Spirit without limit.” John 3v34 (NLT)

“Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tress, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter 3:24 (KJV)

Prayer
Father, blessed be Your Holy name forevermore, amen.
