In Colossians 1:19,20 It says that God was pleased to have all his fulness dwell in Christ. This kind of pleased is timeless. God was eternally pleased to share deity with Christ. So Christ is the Son of God in an eternal sense sharing in all of the divine attributes and power.
Not only was God eternally pleased to have all of his fulness be permanently at home with Christ he was also eternally pleased to reconcile all things to himself. The word reconcile means to restore to original unity or harmony. Colossians 1:20 says he did this by making peace or binding together all things to himself through his blood. He died so that the whole universe could be bound together and made right in relationship with him. That is an amazing God and a powerful image of Jesus.
