Help for the Struggling Workers

On Tuesday, Ellen White spoke in the morning about the resurrection at the second advent of Christ, and in the evening she delivered a stirring message based on Christ's resurrection and how that event inspired the discouraged disciples. Again, the sermon was especially helpful to the struggling workers: EGWE 218.6

“He has risen, dear friends, and in your despondency you may know ... Jesus is by your side to give you peace.... EGWE 218.7

“I know what I am talking about. I have seen the time when I thought the waves were going over my head; in that time I felt my Saviour precious to me. When my eldest son [Henry, aged 16] was taken from me I felt my grief was very great but Jesus came to my side and I felt His peace in my soul. The cup of consolation was placed to my lips. And then he [my husband] ... was taken. We had labored together side by side in the ministry, but we had to fold the hands of the warrior and lay him down to rest in the silent grave. Again my grief seemed very great, but after all came the cup of consolation. Jesus is precious to me. He walked by my side ... and He will walk by your side.”—Manuscript 80, 1886. EGWE 218.8
