Just as the fullness of the sweet tea dwelled inside of the glass pitcher, the fullness of the Word (God) dwelled inside of Jesus.
However, unlike the sweet tea example, the flesh and body of Jesus conformed to the Word of God, and was obedient to the Word of God, being placed under God and us under Him. To such a perfect extent, that for all intended purposes, He was and is the reflection or image of God as the Word of God shines through Him.
In the same way, is it that a light bulb light, or is a light bulb simply a vessel for light, and perhaps a vehicle to deliver light?
