"Our Example Christ's work is to be our example. Constantly He went about doing good. In the temple and the synagogues, in the streets of the cities, in the marketplace and the workshop, by the seaside and among the hills, He preached the gospel and healed the sick. His life was one of unselfish service, and it is to be our lessonbook. His tender, pitying love rebukes our selfishness and heartlessness. 9T 31"
"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."
EGW directly references Christ's actions of 'doing good' and healing, which is the central theme of Acts 10:38. The passage explicitly states that Christ's work is to be our example, mirroring the message of the verse.
"For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."
The EGW passage explicitly states Christ's work is our example, directly echoing the sentiment in John 13:15 where Jesus gives an example to follow.
"Wherever Christ went, He scattered blessings in His path. How many who claim to believe on Him have learned His lessons of kindness, of tender pity, of unselfish love? Hear His voice speaking to the weak, the weary, the helpless: “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 . There was no wearying of His patience, no repressing of His love. 9T 31.2"
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
The EGW passage directly quotes Matthew 11:28, making it an explicit allusion.
"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."
Both passages describe Jesus going about doing good and healing. The EGW passage's description of Christ scattering blessings aligns with Acts 10:38's depiction of Jesus' ministry.
