"For in Him [Christ] dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power."
Regenerated baptized churched Christians are *already* "complete in [Jesus]." We do not have to wait for some future event, to be made whole, full, or satisfied. This is a *past* reality, sealed at the cross and resurrection, and applied to the hearts of the saints in time and space.
Maybe today you are *feeling* less than complete. If you are in Christ, you *are* complete--even though you do not sense it. Our "completion" can be in no one *other* than Jesus. If we are trying to find it in an-
other person, a saint, an angel, or any other being--then we are cer-
tain to be disappointed. But not so with Christ: He has secured His church's fullness *already*; and for all times to come.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Some set their bags of money always be-
fore them, others set the fear of men always before them, but a wise Christian will set God, judgment, and eternity always before him."
--Thomas Watson, in his sermon, "God's Anatomy upon Man's Heart"]
