Hi Mommapbs, I believe that the reconcile that Paul has in mind would be number 3 in Webster's dictionary. "Reconcile, 3 to make (arguments, ideas, texts, accounts, etc) consistent, compatible, etc.; bring into harmony." He was reconciling "all things" to Himself that He might have first place in everything. He now has reconciled us in His fleshly body through death so that we can be presented before (Him) holy and blameless. Every man should be taught with "all wisdom" that we may be presented complete in (Christ). Even when we were dead in our transgressions He made us alive together with (Christ). Ephesians 2:5 Ephesians 2:13, "But now in Christ Jesus you who were formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of (Christ). And He put "all things" in subjection under (His) feet. Ephesians 1:22 John 3:10, "(Jesus) answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?"" John 1:50, "(Jesus) answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these." John 1:16, "For of (His) fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace." John 4:25, "The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes (He) will declare ALL THINGS to us." That is how I see it. I think that the Amplified version gives the Webster #3 meaning also when it says "brought us into harmony with Himself". From the heart, Ray |
