LIFE TO THE FULL

“We admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ.” –Colossians 1:28

Jesus came that we “might have life and have it to the full” (Jn 10:10). Today’s first reading reveals the fullness Jesus wants us to have:

  • full sufferings. We “fill up what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ” in our own flesh (Col 1:24) for the good of others,
  • the fullness of God’s Word (Col 1:25),
  • full glory – beyond price (Col 1:27),
  • full revelation (Col 1:26) of what was once a mystery but is now revealed to the holy ones,
  • the “full measure of wisdom,” with the grace for all of us to become complete in Christ (Col 1:28),
  • the full energy of Christ, “which is so powerful a force within” us (Col 1:29), and
  • “full assurance” through our “knowledge of the mystery of God – namely Christ – in Whom every treasure of wisdom and knowledge is hidden” (Col 2:2-3).

“It pleased God to make absolute fullness reside in” Jesus (Col 1:19), and it pleases Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2:4).

PRAYER: Prayer: Father, make me a larger vessel (Acts 20:32) so I can be more full of everything You want to give me.
PROMISE: Promise: “Only in God is my soul at rest; from Him comes my salvation.” –Ps 62:2
