Colossians chapter 1 verse 19. For in him, all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. I love this portion because it gives me great encouragement. We could read it as "this is because in Him, (Jesus), all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell" What was? *That he (Jesus) is before all things.
00:32
*He (Jesus) is head of the body, the Church. *That he (Jesus) is the one worthy to give life to dead. *He (Jesus) is the one who would reconcile the entire creation to himself. *He (Jesus) has made and is making peace for us through this cross. Why is this(statement) true
01:03
about this man- Jesus? Paul explains it here. He says all this is true: Not because Jesus was a semi-god or a demi god or part god. Not because Jesus was a sage who have attained Nirvana or something of that sort. No. This is not who Jesus is. Paul-says:
01:33
In Jesus the fullness not just anything not a part, not a portion. But all the fullness of God dwelt. And it was pleasing that the fullness of God the dwelt in Jesus. That is amazing. Because 1: Jesus was filled with Only God. He was God In flesh.
02:22
That is what that verse means. It is not made up, he says pretty straightforward. Everything about Jesus reflected the fullness of God. Second(2): God was pleased to dwell. That means it was God's pleasure that
02:49
He came in form of Jesus.
02:56
Three(3): He dwelled in Jesus. It keeps us hope that one day we-too would be able to experience that dwelling with God. And that is possible because Jesus has already done it. What do we take from here? It take these points: One(1): That there's a promise that we will dwell with God.
03:31
Two(2): We have the confidence in that promise because Jesus spoke about it and he cannot lie because he was filled to the brim with God. Three(3): God was pleased that Jesus was doing it. He was joyful that he was doing it for. This joy meant that it was God's pleasure to save you and me.
04:05
And four(4): There is this invitation that God opens up for all who love and believe in Him that they too would be able to see and experience God. Though, we are sinners, we would be able to experience God through Jesus. Because He was One, who had been both God and Man.
04:43
100% God. 100% man. And that makes us Joyful, every time we feel led to temptation. We could see: It pleased God to die for my sin. It, pleased God to come in form of Jesus and be my saviour. And that is a promise that I being a sinner have.
05:14
That He who began this good work in us of sacrifying us, of purifying us, of making us Holy unto Himself will complete it till the day I will no longer be tempted by sin- Will no longer be in-the-presence of sin- Will no longer think about sin. But rejoice that those-days have been long gone, long defeated and I am with Christ and Christ alone.
05:51
God bless you. Have a wonderful day.
