FULLNESS OF CHRIST

Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13

Paul mentions the fullness of Christ in this passage from the Book of Ephesians but what does he mean? I suggest that the fullness of Christ, in contrast to the fullness of the Holy Spirit, *refers to seeing the character of Christ in a person.* When we are living in the fullness of Christ we exhibit His love, His kindness, His generosity, and His patience; something of His own character.

What’s more, when we are living in the fullness of Christ, we meet people not with judgment, but with compassion. Jesus knew the woman at the well had been married multiple times  but He
met her with love and understanding of her deep
need that drove her to so many men.

 *She was thirsty and thirsty people will drink dirty water if they do not know where to find the clean, living water, which Jesus offered her.*
When we live in the fullness of Christ, we see the world with compassionate eyes.

In the person of Christ we see God’s moral character.

PRAYER: Everlasting Father, I humbly submit myself to you, please give me the grace to live in the fullness of Christ....Amen
