"He who gave His life to save men and women from idolatry and self-indulgence, left an example to be followed by all who take up the work of presenting the gospel to others. God's servants in this age have been given most solemn truths to proclaim, and their actions and methods and plans must correspond to the importance of their message. If you are presenting the word in Christ's way, your audience will be deeply impressed with the truths you teach. The conviction will come to them that this is the word of the living God. GW 356.3"
"For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"
The EGW passage directly echoes the principle of following Christ's example, as stated in 1 Peter 2:21. The context of presenting the gospel aligns with the call to follow Christ's steps.
"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 learning from Christ and adopting His character. While not a direct quote, the EGW passage's call to present the word 'in Christ's way' aligns with the call to learn from His meekness and lowliness in Matthew 11:29.
