“So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.” Numbers 21:9
There is a strong parallel in the story of Moses and the staff with the bronze snake and the perils of life today.
The Israelites were God’s chosen people and they spoke against God and complained about their circumstances.
This made God angry and He sent deadly snakes to afflict the people. Many died and the people pleaded with Moses for the mercy of God.
God relented and told Moses to make a staff and mount a bronze snake on top. He told Moses to lift up the staff and tell anyone who had been bitten by a snake to look at the staff and they would be healed.
There is a perfect solution created by God to deal with the troubles of today. It is Christ crucified!
The Cross offers forgiveness for sins and restoration with God. And, the Cross is the source of the resurrected power of Christ.
The Cross will give you everything required to cope with the troubles of life today. You will find mercy, strength, and protection in the Cross.
We have sinned against God and are facing the consequences of our actions. Where sin abounds, the grace of God abounds more. God is merciful!
The staff of Christ is your hope for survival and deliverance! He lives so you can live!
