8 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.”
-Numbers 21:8
Lesson Learnt: When the Israelites complained yet again about God leading them out to die. God sent fiery serpent and they bit them. When the Israelites repent, God asked Moses to make a bronze snake that those who look to the bronze snake will be healed.
This is to point forward to Christ, as the bronze snake, as long as we look to Jesus, we will be cleanse from our sins. We only have to Look and Live, quote from Faith's Checkbook Mobile Devotion says "True, you are swelling with the venom, and you see no hope, True, also there is no hope in this one. But when there is no doubtful cure - "Everyone that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.""
No matter what the bite of sin has turn us into, we have a Saviour who died on the cross for us, to redeem us, and as long as we look to him we shall live.
Prayer: O Heavenly Father, I thank you that you have died for us, to redeem us from eternal death. LORD teach me to look on you as my only source of salvation, as I run this Christian race. Amen.
