Questions

  • vv. 20-23: How do these verses help us understand why Jacob is talking about Christ's birth and death so much (cf. 2 Ne 10:3ff)? How? Why would knowing that our knowledge is from God mean that we ought not to hang down our heads? (Compare this to 2 Ne 4:26ff.) In v. 21, does Jacob assume that he is on an island? Why does Jacob connect his teaching to what his father taught (compare v. 23 with 2 Ne 2:27-29)?
  • v. 20: "hang down our heads" Is this per chance an attempt to describe symptoms of depression?
  • v. 24: What does Jacob mean when he says that it is only in and through the grace of God that we are saved after we are reconciled? How have we seen that explained in previous and later chapters? (Compare 2 Ne 25:23.)
