Colossians 2:9
_ _ For — “Because.” Their “philosophy” (Colossians 2:8) is not “after Christ,” as all true philosophy is, everything which comes not from, and tends not to, Him, being a delusion; “For in Him (alone) dwelleth” as in a temple, etc.
_ _ the fulness — (Colossians 1:19; John 14:10).
_ _ of the Godhead — The Greek (theotes) means the ESSENCE and NATURE of the Godhead, not merely the divine perfections and attributes of Divinity (Greek, “theiotes”). He, as man, was not merely God-like, but in the fullest sense, God.
_ _ bodily — not merely as before His incarnation, but now “bodily in Him” as the incarnate word (John 1:14, John 1:18). Believers, by union with Him, partake of His fullness of the divine nature (John 1:16; 2 Peter 1:4; see on Ephesians 3:19). |
Colossians 2:9
For in him dwelleth — Inhabiteth, continually abideth, all the fulness of the Godhead. Believers are "filled with all the fulness of God," Ephesians 3:19. But in Christ dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead; the most full Godhead; not only divine powers, but divine nature, Colossians 1:19. Bodily — Personally, really, substantially. The very substance of God, if one might so speak, dwells in Christ in the most full sense. |
Colossians 2:9
(8) For in (l) him (m) dwelleth (n) all the fulness of the Godhead (o) bodily.
(8) A reason: because only Christ, being God and man, is most perfect, and passes far above all things, so that whoever has him, requires nothing more.
(l) By these words is shown a distinction of the natures.
(m) This word "dwelleth" notes out to us the joining together of those natures, so that God and man, is one Christ.
(n) These words declare that the perfect Godhead is in Christ.
(o) The union of God and man, is substantial and essential. |
