Scripture to Read: Colossians 2:9–10
God reminds us throughout His Word that Jesus is God in the flesh and that through Christ we have all we need to live this life for Him and His glory. God had Paul write in Colossians 2:9–10, “For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 10 and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority.” There is so much beauty in all of God’s Word, but these two verses give us such a beautiful picture of Christ and what He has done for us. As Jesus walked this earth, He was 100% man, but He was also 100% God. God the Father had Paul confirm that Christ’s divinity was beautifully and completely expressed as He lived in His fleshly form on this earth. But then, God had Paul remind all believers that in Christ, because He is God, we have been made complete. There is nothing else we need in Christ. God, as He led Peter to write, had Peter write it this way in 2 Peter 1:3–4, “seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.” Knowing all that we have in Christ means our lives must reflect Christ, for He is King.
