"The Teacher an Evangelist The work of educating our youth as outlined for us in the instruction given by God, is to be sacredly maintained. We must choose as teachers those who will educate in right lines. Said my Instructor, “Let not teachers be chosen to educate and train the youth who will not maintain the simplicity of Christ's methods. His teachings contain the very essence of sanctified simplicity.” CT 249"
"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."
Both passages emphasize the importance of simplicity and learning from Christ. EGW speaks of maintaining the simplicity of Christ's methods, while Matthew 11:29 speaks of learning from Christ because He is meek and lowly in heart.
"Christ revealed in the Bible, by practicing His virtues, the believer will be changed into the same likeness of goodness and mercy. Christ's work of self-denial and sacrifice brought into the daily life will develop the faith that works by love and purifies the soul. There are many who wish to evade the cross-bearing part, but the Lord speaks to all when He says, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16:24 . CT 249.1"
"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
EGW directly quotes Matthew 16:24.
"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."
Both passages discuss being conformed to the image of Christ. EGW speaks of being changed into the likeness of goodness and mercy, while Romans 8:29 speaks of being conformed to the image of His Son.
"A great work is to be accomplished by the setting forth of the saving truths of the Bible. This is the means ordained of God to stem the tide of moral corruption in the earth. Christ gave His life to make it possible for man to be restored to the image of God. It is the power of His grace that draws men together in obedience to the truth. Those who would experience more of the sanctification of the truth in their own souls should present this truth to those who are ignorant of it. Never will they find a more elevating, ennobling work. CT 249.2"
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Both passages discuss the importance of sharing truth and letting one's light shine. EGW speaks of presenting truth to those ignorant of it, while Matthew 5:16 speaks of letting your light shine so others may see your good works.
