"As His representatives among men, God does not choose angels who have never fallen, but human beings, men of like passions with those they seek to save. Christ took humanity that He might reach humanity. A divine-human Saviour was needed to bring salvation to the world. And to men and women has been committed the sacred trust of making known “the unsearchable riches of Christ.” Ephesians 3:8 . AA 134.2"

Ellen White directly references Ephesians 3:8 in this passage.
"In His wisdom the Lord brings those who are seeking for truth into touch with fellow beings who know the truth. It is the plan of Heaven that those who have received light shall impart it to those in darkness. Humanity, drawing its efficiency from the great Source of wisdom, is made the instrumentality, the working agency, through which the gospel exercises its transforming power on mind and heart. AA 134.3"

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
Both passages highlight the idea of sharing truth and light with others. Matthew 5:14 uses the metaphor of being 'the light of the world,' while the EGW passage describes the plan of Heaven for those who have received light to impart it to those in darkness.
"Cornelius was gladly obedient to the vision. When the angel had gone, the centurion “called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; and when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.” AA 134.4"
