"The same Spirit that in His stead was sent to be the instructor of His first co-workers, Christ has commissioned to be the instructor of His co-workers today. “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” ( Matthew 28:20 ), is His promise. Ed 96.1"
"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 directly quotes Matthew 28:20, making it an explicit allusion.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
Both passages discuss the role of the Holy Spirit as an instructor and guide. The EGW passage speaks of the Spirit as the instructor of Christ's co-workers, while John 14:26 describes the Holy Spirit as the Comforter who will teach all things. The connection is valid.
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
Both passages relate to the Holy Spirit guiding believers. John 16:13 speaks of the Spirit of truth guiding into all truth, while the EGW passage refers to the Spirit as the instructor of Christ's co-workers. The connection is valid.
"The presence of the same guide in educational work today will produce the same results as of old. This is the end to which true education tends; this is the work that God designs it to accomplish. Ed 96.2"
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
EGW directly applies the principle of the Holy Spirit as a guide to educational work, mirroring the role of the Comforter described in John 14:26. The connection is more than just thematic; it's a direct application of the biblical principle.
