Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. | ||
| Isaiah 45:22 | ||
| When the children of Israel were bitten by poisonous snakes, the Lord instructed Moses and Aaron to make a brass pole and to place a brass snake upon it. Then they were to tell the congregation that whoever looked at the snake on the pole would be saved (Numbers 21). Brass is the metal of judgment. A serpent is a symbol of sin. Therefore, it was a picture of Jesus Christ, Who bore the judgment for our sins on the Cross. If we simply look to Him and believe in Him, we’ll be saved from Satan’s poisonous sting of eternal damnation. What do you have to lose by looking to the Lord? Nothing. What do you have to gain? Eternity. Pastor Jon Courson | ||
