"the conflicts if we wear the crown of victory. Like Jesus, we must be made perfect through suffering. Had Christ's life been one of ease, then might we safely yield to sloth. Since His life was marked with continual self- denial, suffering, and self-sacrifice, we shall make no complaint if we are partakers with Him. We can walk safely in the darkest path if we have the Light of the world for our guide. 5T 71.2"
"For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings."
EGW echoes the idea in Hebrews 2:10 that Jesus was made perfect through suffering, and applies it to believers, suggesting they too must endure suffering to attain victory. The connection is thematic and not a direct quote, but the parallel is clear.
