Episode notes
Scriptures Jesus Studied
- John Hilton III emphasizes that the Old Testament were the scriptures studied by Jesus Christ himself.
- This reframes the Old Testament as directly relevant to Christian discipleship, not merely historical background.
Eliakim As A Christ Type
- John Hilton III tells the lesser-known story of Eliakim in Isaiah 22 to show Christ-typology in obscure passages.
- He compares Eliakim to a sturdy peg and connects that image to Christ as the 'nail in a sure place.'
Nail In A Sure Place Imagery
- Hilton links the 'nail in a sure place' imagery to Christ's crucifixion and atonement using President Jeffrey R. Holland's observation.
- The image highlights Christ's endurance and that his removal would end the burden of the atonement.
