28-33. The Weak May Do Deeds of Omnipotence
—To us as
well as to the disciples, Christ has given the work of carrying the
truth to the world. But before engaging in this great and aggressive
warfare, upon which eternal results depend, Christ invites all to count
the cost. He assures them that if they take hold of the work with
undivided hearts, giving themselves as light bearers to the world,
if they will take hold of His strength, they will make peace with
Him, and obtain supernatural assistance that will enable them in
their weakness to do the deeds of Omnipotence. If they go forward
with faith in God, they will not fail nor become discouraged, but will
have the assurance of infallible success (
The Review and Herald,
March 15, 1898
