Paul, writing in Colossians 2:10, says, “And you are complete in Him.” This elucidates the spiritual viewpoint: the Sufficiency of Christ — you are complete in Him. The primary theme throughout the gospel is summed up in that text. Matthew to Revelation bear witness to the sufficiency of Jesus Christ.

Let’s examine the insights of the Apostle Paul. After all, Jesus met him on the road to Damascus and called him to be the articulator of the majesty of our Lord. Theologians and great preachers consider Paul to be the greatest mind, with the strongest will and purpose to magnify Jesus Christ as Lord, and to forgive humanity’s sins — you can confess Him as your Saviour as well.

“In Christ we have all wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.” 1 Corinthians 1:30

In 2 Corinthians 12:9, it says, “My grace” – that is the grace of God in Christ – “is sufficient for you.”

In Ephesians 1:3, it says that, “We have in Christ been blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus.”

And Hebrews 10:14 says, “By one offering He has perfected forever them that are His, sanctified forever them that are His.”

Reading these scriptures, we contemplate the total source of Jesus Christ, our creator and sustainer for every need, spiritually speaking, in today, tomorrow and for your eternity. Think about: Colossians 2:10, “You are complete in Him.”

Having the Lord Jesus Christ is to have everything needed for a wonderful spiritual life, both now and for eternity.  Not to have Him is to have absolutely nothing at all.

Every goodness flows from trusting Jesus as your saviour: Love, joy, peace, truest meaning, value, purpose, hope — and a fulfilling life now and forever — all is bound up in Christ. When we receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, we enter into an all-sufficient relationship with an all-sufficient Christ.

My confidence and my faith all rest in one person — Jesus Christ. And I believe with all my heart, not because of me, but because of His sovereign and infinite grace, My faith is complete in Him — I am complete in Him.

In Christ, you can find the source of all earth’s loving, the universe of peace and trust divine. You will be able to say:  I find the satisfaction borne of knowing forever I am His, and He is mine. In Christ I find a harbour from the tempest, a refuge safe to guard throughout the test. I find in Him a shelter from the darkness, as safely in His arms my soul does rest. In Christ I find the bread that leaves no hunger, the wine that leaves no thirst within the heart. I find the warmth of love that Jesus gives, the blessing of His riches to impart.

Moreover, in Christ, I find all love, all joy, all blessing; I find the peace that never shares with doubt — never. In Christ I find the gate to heaven’s glory, in Christ, the Christ who dwells within my heart.

You can rest, trusting, living, and even facing death in the confidence of the sufficiency of Christ! Christ is all and all to me. In simple childlike faith, embrace the living, dying, risen Christ as your Saviour. He brings complete salvation, complete forgiveness, complete victory, for you are complete in Him — in the spiritual unity with the Holy Spirit for time and eternity, He gives; and by faith, you receive.
