I have been attending an Institute class for several weeks now. For those of you that are not LDS, an Institute is where 18-30 year-olds can go for religion classes, luncheons and activities such as playing pool or just kicking back in a safe place. They are usually located in close proximity to colleges, like across the street. Most Institutes don't teach 'adults' over 30. Thankfully the HB Institute does and I have been in that class. Jack Briggs is the teacher, and he is marvelous. Yesterday we spent an hour and a half going over a few scriptures in the old testament and comparing them to the Savior. I was enthralled. We broke into groups and looked for the similarities between the life of Joseph and Christ. From the class handout:
Joseph A Type of Christ
"Moses like Isaac, Joesph and so many others in the Old Testament was himself a prophetic symbol of the Christ who was to come." Jeffrey R. Holland...Christ and the New Covenant; p.137
