"of those who have received the light from heaven and have realized the benefit of walking in it, to manifest a greater interest for those who are still suffering for want of knowledge. Sabbathkeepers who are looking for the soon appearing of their Saviour should be the last to manifest a lack of interest in this great work of reform. Men and women must be instructed, and ministers and people should feel that the burden of the work rests upon them to agitate the subject and urge it home upon others. 1T 488.2"
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Both passages connect 'light' with good works and influencing others. EGW's passage speaks of those who have received light sharing it with others, while Matthew 5:16 directly commands believers to let their light shine. The connection is strong and relevant.
"So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me."
Both passages emphasize the responsibility of those who know the truth to warn and instruct others. Ezekiel 33:7 speaks of a watchman warning Israel, while EGW speaks of Sabbathkeepers instructing others. The parallel lies in the duty to share knowledge and warn others.
"Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness."
Both passages use the metaphor of 'light' to describe believers. 1 Thessalonians 5:5 identifies believers as children of light, while EGW speaks of those who have received light from heaven. The connection is thematic, though not a direct quote or allusion.
