"In the Highways and Hedges The command of Christ to His people is: “Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that My house may be filled.” Luke 14:23 . 6T 76"
"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
Ellen White directly references Luke 14:23 in this passage.
"Take no glory whatever to yourself. Do not work with a divided mind, trying to serve self and God at the same time. Keep self out of sight. Let your words lead the weary and heavy-laden to carry their burdens to Jesus. Work as seeing Him who is at your right hand, ready to give you His efficiency and omnipotent power in every emergency. The Lord is your Counselor, your Guide, the Captain of your salvation. He goes before your face, conquering and to conquer. 6T 76.2"
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
The phrase "lead the weary and heavy-laden to carry their burdens to Jesus" is a clear reference to Matthew 11:28. The surrounding context in EGW's writing reinforces this connection.
"I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved."
The phrase "Work as seeing Him who is at your right hand" is a direct allusion to Psalm 16:8, "because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." The context of relying on God's power also supports this connection.
"The call to the gospel feast is first to be given in the highways. It must be given to those who claim to be in the highways of Christian experience—to the members of the different churches. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelation 2:7 . In these churches there are true worshipers and there are false worshipers. A work must be done for those who have fallen from their first love, who have lost their first zeal and interest in spiritual things. We must bring the warning before professed Christians who are transgressors of the law of God. To them the message must be given. 6T 76.4"
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."
Ellen White directly references Revelation 2:7 in this passage.
