“The people then came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you. Intercede with the Lord so that he will take the snakes away from us.” And Moses interceded for the people. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake image and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will recover.” ”
Numbers 21:7-8 CSB
The snake on a pole is clearly an image of Jesus on the cross. Anyone who has faith to believe and follows through with looking to the snake is healed. Poking toward the image of the very thing that cursed them …
We are required to look at our curse too, Jesus took on the curse of our sin on the cross, and our salvation is from believing Him and confronting the penalty that we deserve…
Lord, I need more faith to trust You, because so many times my temptations seem better than chasing You! What a lie!!! Help me to see through it and know the truth that You are infinitely better!!!
