What Does Ephesians 4:10 Mean?
Paul insists on the identity: 'He that descended is the same also that ascended.' The humbled Christ and the exalted Christ are one and the same Lord. The journey from the depths to 'far above all heavens' is the single arc of His saving work.
He ascended 'that he might fill all things.' The descent and ascent were not for His sake alone but so that His presence and rule might pervade everything. The Christ who reached the lowest point now reaches the highest, and from that height He fills all things with Himself.
