"He rescued truth from its obscurity, and set it in its proper framework, to shine in its original luster. He addressed men in his own name; for authority was vested in himself, and why should men, professing to be his followers, not speak with authority concerning subjects on which he has given light? Why take inferior sources of instruction when Christ is the great Teacher who knows all things? Why present inferior authors to the attention of students, when he whose words are spirit and life invites, “Come, ... and learn of me”? [ Matthew 11:28, 29 .] CE 81.1"
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
EGW directly quotes and references Matthew 11:29, encouraging people to learn from Jesus.
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
EGW's statement 'words are spirit and life' alludes to the concept in John 6:63 where Jesus states that His words are spirit and life. Both passages highlight the spiritual power and life-giving nature of Jesus' words.
"Shall we not be intensely interested in the lessons of Christ? Shall we not be charmed with the new and glorious light of heavenly truth? This light is above everything that man can present. We can receive light only as we come to the cross and present ourselves at the altar of sacrifice. Here man's weakness is made manifest; here his strength is revealed. Here men see there is power in Christ to save to the uttermost all that come unto God by him. CE 81.2"
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
Both passages connect Christ with light and truth. EGW speaks of the 'new and glorious light of heavenly truth' and John 8:12 states 'I am the light of the world.'
"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."
EGW's statement about Christ's power to save 'to the uttermost' directly reflects the principle stated in Hebrews 7:25.
