Christ's Inexhaustible Fulness
Commentators explain that Christ's "fulness" refers to the complete, inexhaustible supply of all God's blessings residing in Him. For every spiritual need—pardon, strength, wisdom, and holiness—believers draw from this single, overflowing source. As John Calvin highlights, God has placed all good things in Christ, who acts as an "inexhaustible fountain" to fill our emptiness.
