For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:19 Go To Colossians 1

The fullness is in him and remains in him. This means that he surpasses all things and cannot be surpassed, that he may fashion, refashion, restore the fallen, raise the dead. Thus he says, “Just as the Father has life in himself; so he gives it to the Son to have life in himself.” .
