This Sunday, I’ll begin a series through the book of Daniel. I’ve been reading and preparing all summer, but only just stumbled on this issue of The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology on “Preaching Christ from the Old Testament.” Faithful expositors know that all of Scripture is about Jesus (see Luke 24:27), but it’s not always clear how to “get to him” from a specific text. Helpfully, this issue of SBJT features three different approaches to Genesis 15:1–6 from Daniel Block, Elliott Johnson, and Vern Poythress and responses from 10 other scholars. I look forward to digging in!
The Secret to Hezekiah's Prosperity
2 Kings 18:1–7
- Hezekiah did right in the sight of the Lord by removing the idols in Judah (2 Ki. 18:3–4)
- Hezekiah trusted in the Lord by clinging to Him and obeying Him (2 Ki. 18:5–6)
- Hezekiah prospered and defeated his enemies because the Lord was with him (2 Ki. 18:7–8)
