"How few realize that Jesus, unseen, is walking by their side! How ashamed many would be to hear His voice speaking to them and to know that He heard all their foolish, common talk! And how many hearts would burn with holy joy if they only knew that the Saviour was by their side, that the holy atmosphere of His presence was surrounding them, and they were feeding on the bread of life! How pleased the Saviour would be to hear His followers talking on His precious lessons of instruction and to know that they had a relish for holy things! CT 342.1"
"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
The EGW passage speaks of Jesus being unseen but present, walking by their side, and the joy of knowing His presence. This echoes the promise in Matthew 28:20 that Jesus will be with His followers always, even to the end of the world. The theme of Jesus' constant presence is the connection.
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
The EGW passage speaks of Jesus being unseen but present and the desire for Him to be welcomed. This aligns with Revelation 3:20, where Jesus stands at the door and knocks, waiting to be invited in. Both passages emphasize Jesus' desire for fellowship and the importance of opening one's heart to Him.
