DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

F.B. Meyer emphasizes the transformative power of Christ working through
individuals, as illustrated by Hudson Taylor's calling to evangelize
inland China. He highlights that personal limitations do not hinder
God's work, as it is Christ who empowers believers to fulfill their
responsibilities. Meyer uses the analogy of a copper wire, which merely
conveys the power of the battery, to illustrate how believers can be
vessels for Christ's might. The message is clear: when we rely on
Christ, we can accomplish great things despite our weaknesses.

Hudson Taylor told me that on the threshhold of his great life work God
came to him and said:

"My child, I am going to evangelize inland China, and if you like to
walk with me I will do it through you."

"Mighty in me." I cannot take that Bible class, but Christ is in me, and
HE can. I cannot conduct that mission, but Christ is in me, and HE can.
I cannot assume these responsibilities, but hallelujah! it does not
matter. A copper wire has only to convey the message, it is for the
battery to send it; and you may be forever more like the wire which
connects you with cities far down its course, the wire along which the
fair and the false passes without fret, without anxiety, without care, a
mighty, mighty force meeting in the wire.

When it is not self but Christ, it is Christ "mighty in me."
