What do snakes, sin, and salvation have in common? In this episode, we dive into Numbers 21 and explore the powerful story of the bronze serpent, a symbol of both judgment and grace. As the Israelites rebelled against God, they faced the consequences of their sin—venomous snakes sent into their camp. But in His mercy, God provided a way for them to be saved: by simply looking at a bronze serpent lifted on a pole.
Jesus Himself referenced this moment in John 3:14-15, revealing that just as the Israelites were saved by looking at the bronze serpent, we are saved by looking to Him on the cross. This story is a direct foreshadowing of Christ’s redemptive work, showing us that salvation has always been about faith, trust, and obedience.
