15保罗要歌罗西的信徒晓得,他们既在基督里得了丰满,就不需要敬拜天使。基督是一切执政掌权者的元首;天使不过是神造物中的一项罢了。在这丰满里我们已经得了丰满、完备和完全。一切必需的事都成就了,我们已经得着供应,并且已经满足了。哦,这丰满乃是包罗万有的,包括了公义、称义、圣别、成圣以及我们所需要的一切。我们既栽种在这丰满里,就该从其中吸取滋养。我们这样作,就会发现我们一无所缺。钉十字架和复活的经历都在这丰满里。赞美主,我们可以享受宇宙的、永远的、延展无限的、包罗万有的丰满!这丰满有形有体地居住在基督里面。基督既是我们已经生根于其中的美地,我们在这丰满里就已经生根了;我们在其中已经得了丰满、完备并完全。我们什么都不缺(歌罗西书生命读经,五七四至五七八页)。
15Paul wanted the Colossian believers to realize that since they had been made full in Christ, they had no need to worship angels. Christ is the Head of all rule and authority, and angels are just one item of God’s creation. In the fullness we are made full, complete, and perfect. Everything necessary is accomplished, and we are supplied and satisfied. Oh, this fullness is allinclusive. It includes righteousness, justification, holiness, sanctification, and whatever we may need. Having been planted into this fullness, we should simply absorb nourishment from it. As we do so, we will find that we have no lack. The experiences of crucifixion and resurrection are in the fullness. Praise the Lord that we may enjoy the universal, eternal, extensive, all-inclusive fullness! This fullness dwells in Christ bodily. Since Christ is the good land in which we have been rooted, we have been rooted in this fullness; in it we have been made full, complete, and perfect. We have no need whatever. (Life-study of Colossians, pp. 454-457)
