"The source of such an education is brought to view in these words of Holy Writ, pointing to the Infinite One: In Him “are hid all the treasures of wisdom.” Colossians 2:3 . “He hath counsel and understanding.” Job 12:13 . Ed 13.2"
"In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
Ellen White directly references Colossians 2:3 in this passage.
"With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding."
Ellen White directly references Job 12:13 in this passage.
"The world has had its great teachers, men of giant intellect and extensive research, men whose utterances have stimulated thought and opened to view vast fields of knowledge; and these men have been honored as guides and benefactors of their race; but there is One who stands higher than they. We can trace the line of the world's teachers as far back as human records extend; but the Light was before them. As the moon and the stars of our solar system shine by the reflected light of the sun, so, as far as their teaching is true, do the world's great thinkers reflect the rays of the Sun of Righteousness. Every gleam of thought, every flash of the intellect, is from the Light of the world. Ed 13.3"
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."
EGW's description of the world's teachers reflecting the light of the 'Sun of Righteousness' echoes the concept of Jesus as the 'true Light' that illuminates everyone, as described in John 1:9. The connection is thematic and not a direct quote, but the parallel is strong.
