The Man Who Has Dominion

FRANC BARKMAN CURRY

IN the Psalms we read: "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? . . . Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet." Who is this man that God has made? Mortal belief answers by giving us mainly a picture of flesh, blood, and bones, but this material sense of man has little or no dominion over circumstances.

Studying the Old Testament, we find that many of its characters possessed something that gave them a measure of dominion; that, beyond and above others, they possessed spiritual qualities such as intelligence, courage, faith, wisdom, understanding, love, and that these qualities set them on high as luminaries in the darkness of mortal belief.

Farther on in the Bible we read about one possessing complete dominion: wind, wave, sin, disease, and death quailed before the Word uttered by this man, Christ Jesus.
