161 – You Are Already Complete

161 – Did you know that as the image and likeness of God, in a sense, you are already complete and whole.

When I was a kid, I usually felt there was something missing in my life. I didn't have everything I needed. I felt incomplete. I often thought I needed some thing or situation to make me complete, but it was actually a mindset issue. Way down inside, I felt incomplete as a person.

As I grew in my faith, I came to see that as a child of God made in the divine image and likeness, my completeness came from God, not external things or just good human thoughts internally.

In this week's episode, I talk about how Jesus saw the completeness of the people he came in contact with and the healing effect it had on their lives. I discuss:

  • The woman who touched Jesus's clothes for healing and how Jesus took that healing to a deeper dimension 
  • Bartimaeus, whom Jesus could see as whole before he was was healed
  • The two aspects of Jesus's mindset that revealed a person's wholeness and then healed them
  • Where did Jesus see someone's completeness? 
  • What Jesus said to the woman who couldn't stand up that revealed she was already complete, even before she was healed

Christ represents the fullness of God. All God’s fullness is in Christ. 

When you truly embrace this idea that Christ embodies the fullness, the full nature, of God, then,  “you also are complete through your union with Christ.” (Colossians 2:10  NLT)
