In today's episode, we dive into Justin Martyr’s powerful reflections on the relationship between the old and new covenants. We explore how the Law, given on Horeb, is now abrogated and replaced by the eternal and final law—Christ. Justin addresses the promises made through the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, where a new covenant is foretold, not according to the old law, but through the grace of the crucified Christ. This new covenant, open to all nations, offers salvation and piety through faith in Christ. We'll also examine how the Jews, in Justin's view, have misunderstood the Law of Moses and failed to recognize the true fulfillment of God's promises in the person of Jesus. Join us as we unpack this crucial transition from the old to the new, and the enduring significance of Christ as the fulfillment of God’s ultimate plan.
