"The Teacher's Privilege The teachers in our schools have a heavy responsibility to bear. They must be in words and character what they wish their students to become—men and women that fear God and work righteousness. If they are acquainted with the way themselves, they can train the youth to walk in it. They will not only educate them in the sciences, but will train them to have moral independence, to work for Jesus, and to take up burdens in His cause. CT 47"
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
The EGW passage emphasizes teachers being examples of righteousness, mirroring the idea of letting one's light shine through good works to glorify God.
"And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
Both passages deal with the idea of passing on knowledge and training to others, who in turn can teach others. The EGW passage focuses on teachers training students, while 2 Timothy 2:2 speaks of passing on teachings to faithful men who can teach others.
"The future of society will be determined by the youth of today. Satan is making earnest, persevering efforts to corrupt the mind and debase the character of every youth; and shall we who have more experience stand as mere spectators, and see him accomplish his purpose without hindrance? Let us stand at our post as minutemen, to work for these youth, and through the help of God to hold them back from the pit of destruction. In the parable, while men slept the enemy sowed tares; and while you, my brethren and sisters, are unconscious of his work, Satan is gathering an army of youth under his banner; and he exults, for through them he carries on his warfare against God. CT 47.1"
"But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way."
EGW explicitly references the parable of the tares, making this a clear and direct allusion to Matthew 13:25.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
Both passages highlight the active and dangerous role of Satan, urging believers to be vigilant and protect themselves and others from his influence. EGW's description of Satan's efforts to corrupt youth aligns with the warning in 1 Peter 5:8 about the devil seeking whom he may devour.
