Ephesians Chapter Three

Eph. 3:19

To be “filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” is like filling a thimble(针) to its brim with water from the ocean. The thimble is filled with the ocean, but the ocean is not fully in the thimble since the thimbleful of water does not diminish the ocean. Yet, the thimble has the “fullness” of the ocean in the sense that it contains every ingredient that makes up the ocean. All the essential characteristics of the ocean are in the thimble.
