Like the lost described in Romans 1, Hophni and Phinehas were given up by God to the lusts of their hearts. Yet even in the darkness of their sin, a light shone through a man bearing God’s word. He announced the judgment looming over Eli’s house for spurning God’s mercy and assured a prospect for the Lord’s people: a coming priest—ultimately, Christ—who would be perfectly faithful. Highlighting the consequences of a sinful and unbelieving heart, Alistair Begg urges us to heed the warning expressed in God’s rejection of these immoral priests.
