Ephesians 1:23
Which is his body. His spiritual body, living by union with the
Head, pervaded by the life of Christ.
The fulness of him. The church is a manifestation of the fullness
of Christ, the body filled by his life, who
filleth all in all. Filleth all things with his majesty and power.
The object of the last four verses is to describe Christ's glories.
These are: (1) His resurrection; (2) His Exaltation to God's Right
Hand; (3) His Supreme Dominion; (4) His Headship to the Church, his
Body, filled with His Fullness. These glories all follow his stooping
unto the death of the cross. He abased himself that he might be
exalted. See Hebrews 12:2.
