All power is his in Heaven, First, as our
Mediator. God required satisfaction for
broken law. Man was incapable OF
rendering 1t; but Christ became the God
man, our High Priest, and thereby met
the demands Of the broken law. We may
now say in truth, any God Is recon.

human probabilities. He is able to save
US fully and forever. This power is only
hindercd by our unwillingness. He can
not save us unless we are willing. He

not he would not have all power. All
power on earth Is his. This was mani.
tested often while he was on earth. Al
his command the winds were hushed, and
the waves were still. Demons acknOwl-
edged his power and at his bidding came
forth from those whom they had been

committed all power. What u terrible
thing for an Alexander, NepOleOn, a
Caesar, ura MahOmet to have had such

shed and slaughter would have followed
their footsteps. 1t would be safe for no
man to have all power, Christ was one

but as long as there Is life there Is hope
It Is not only theoretically, but practically
true that Christ has power on elrth to for
give sins. Power perverted Is DISASTROUS.
1t would not do for being without all
the attributes OF God, to have all power.
