"For it pleased the Father that in Him (Jesus) all the fullness should dwell, and by Him (Jesus) to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him (Jesus), whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His (Jesus') cross." (Colossians 1:19, 20)
All humanity has the invitation to receive into their very beings, "....all the fullness..," of the Godhead. This is far beyond my comprehension, yet this is the Gospel.
This, "fullness," is in Jesus Christ. Our reconciliation to Father is in Jesus Christ, "having made peace through the Blood of His Cross." From Cain and Abel on, every human being born on this planet was/is born a sinner. Argue with this all anyone wishes; try to "figure this out" all one may try. The truth of Scripture is, "All have sinned and come short...."
So, what did the, "All Fullness," do? He ".... made peace through the Blood of [Jesus'] cross."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I so thank You for such Good News. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
