Great foods often hit multiple taste sensations. They'll be both sweet and sour, or mix something spicy in where you didn't expect it. It's richer because it's more robust.
Jesus, as John is telling us, is the best of both worlds. Jesus is from above, and so he is above all. Jesus is also of the earth, and so he belongs to the earth and can relate to us. It's an amazing combination -- and God takes on that combination for your sake, so we, who are constrained to earth, might catch a glimpse of heaven through the love of Christ.
When we look forward to the ultimate return of Christ, we know that heaven will descend and be joined with a renewed and restored earth, and the union of heaven and earth will create an amazing peace in which we will dwell in the fullness of God.
