What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "Please provide all quotes from Ellen White that refer to those who lead children to the truth."
Answer
The education and guidance of children to the truth is described as the noblest missionary work that people can undertake. Parents and teachers are called not only to impart knowledge, but to deliberately work toward the conversion of children, so that they themselves become witnesses and missionaries for Christ. When children are faithfully instructed in the faith, they can, in the last days, proclaim God's saving message with simplicity and power.
Guidance to Conversion and to the Lamb of God
»In our work for the children, the goal should not merely be to educate and entertain them, but to work toward their conversion. We should pray for God's blessing on the sown seed, and the conviction through the Holy Spirit will even reach the little ones. As we exercise faith in God, we will be enabled to lead them to the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.«
The Noblest of All Missionary Works
»The direction and instruction of children is the noblest missionary work that a man or woman can undertake. By the proper use of objects, the lessons should be made very clear, so that their spirit is led from nature up to the God of nature. We must have in our schools those who possess the tact and skill to advance this line of work and thus sow seeds of truth. Only the great day of God can reveal how much good this work will accomplish.«
Children as Witnesses and Missionaries of the End Times
»Children who are properly instructed will be witnesses for the truth... We could bring hundreds and thousands of children to Christ if we worked for them... In the last days the voices of children will be heard proclaiming the message. Just as Christ in the temple solved the mysteries that priests and rulers had not recognized, so in the final work of this earth children, in their simplicity, will speak words that will astonish people who now speak of "higher education".«
The Privilege of Placing Children on the Lord's Side
»Parents, do not neglect the work that awaits you in the church within your own family. This is your first field of missionary effort. The most important work you can do is to place your children on the side of the Lord... When you take your children with you into the service of the Lord, what a victory you achieve.«
True Missionary Work through God‑taught Teachers
»The Lord desires careful efforts to be made in the education of our children. True missionary work, done by teachers who are taught daily by God, would lead many souls to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus; and children educated in this way will pass the received light and knowledge on to others.«
Heavenly Support in Training
»Heaven is interested in this work for the sake of the youth. Parents and teachers who, through wise instruction, calmly and decisively accustom children to think of others and care for them, will help them overcome selfishness and will close the door against many temptations. God's angels will work together with these faithful teachers.«
