Set of Clothes

"For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fulness to dwell in him, and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross, whether things on earth or things in heaven" (Colossians 1:19-20).

Jesus physical body held within it the fullness of God, so that he was fully man and fully God. The clothes I wear do not change who I am. Jesus' physical body did not change who he was. He consciously choose to take on the form of man and to suffer as a man in order to reconcile us to himself and to his Father.

The Father and Son were pleased, took pleasure, in doing this (Ephesians 1:5,9; Colossians 1:19).
