Colossians 2:9-10–In Him the Fullness of Deity Dwells

Colossians 2:9-10: "For in Him the fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled with Him, who is the head of all rule and authority."

This is a verse about who Christ is: God incarnate.  But it is also a verse about the fact that we who are in Christ are jointly filled with Christ.  This is a beautiful proposition: that the Christ who is the fullness of deity fills us.  It turns out that this is the reality of the Christian existence, that the God who created and sustains the universe also inhabits us with His Holy Spirit.  In this way, we can accurately attest to deity dwelling within us by virtue of Christ's indwelling Spirit residing inside of us.  It is thus a good thing to remember who Christ is and who, in fact, we are in Him.
