Charles Spurgeon Commentary Colossians 1:19

"For it was the good pleasure [of the Father] that in him should all the fulness dwell;" — Colossians 1:19 (ASV)

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;

That we might have to go to him for it; it pleased the Father to make errands for us so as to take us to Christ, and to make our very emptiness thus to minister to the glory of Christ.
