Ephesians 1:22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

The "He" is God the Father..."Him" is Jesus, God's Son...the "church" is the collection of believers across the centuries. We are aware and deeply affected with the truth that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And we are overwhelmed with the meaning that, as the church, we are "his body". In a sense we've been called to a higher walk than just to live our lives, individually...for our own purposes. We are filled with the presence of Jesus. He has become our head, the one we truly look to for leadership personally and collectively, as believers. He is not to be a part of our life, or one we go to only for problems. He "fills all in all" and we are meant to reflect that fullness. If we are full of Jesus we leave little room for self, while finding our greatest fulfillment moving and responding to His headship.

I am challenged to consider daily if I am full of Jesus....or truly full of self!
