The Fullness of Christ

Our opening Scripture is so powerful, and so revealing. The

Church is the fullness of Christ! That means we’re the completion of Christ;

He’s the head, and we’re the body, and when you put us together, we’re the

Christ in full. We’re the fullness of Him that fills everything. Blessed truth!

I wish that all of God’s children would grasp this!

John 1:16 says, “And of his fulness have all we received,

and grace for grace.” We’ve received of His fullness. No wonder Jesus said in

John 5:26, “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son

to have life in himself” ; He was talking about inherent life. He’s full of

life; He’s all of life; all of divinity. God the Father doesn’t have any more

life than Jesus has. Then, we read in John 1:16 that we have received of His

fullness. He’s full of God, and that fullness has passed unto us, not in

trickles, but in it’s entirety. If we had less life than He does, we’d not be

the fullness of Him, because the Scripture says, “…the church, Which is his

body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all .” Each one of us is filled in

Him, and with Him. You’re in Him, and He’s in you. This was God’s plan, idea,

and dream from the foundation of the world, for us to be the fullness of

Christ, and He accomplished it in Christ Jesus, and bysending the Holy Spirit to live in us.

The Church is a supernatural body; and you’re part of that body. You’re full of God, not sickness and disease. You might have been told that you came from a poor family, therefore, you may not really amount tomuch in life; but that can’t be, because you belong in another family; the family of Christ—the Church! And in Christ, you’re in wealth, splendour, prosperity, and glory. Hallelujah!
