The completion of him
"[God] seated [Christ] at [God's] right side in the heavenly world. Christ rules there above all heavenly rulers, authorities, powers, and lords; he has a title superior to all titles of authority in this world and in the next. God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as supreme Lord over all things.
The church is Christ's body, the completion of him who himself completes all things everywhere."
(Ephesians 1.20-23 GNB)
I am part of the church - "the completion of Christ".
Christ is the head - the control centre of the body. I am to be his hand and feet and mouth and ear and eye and nose. I am to complete him as he "completes all things".
To be "the completion of him". Me, Lord?
