Look and Live
Look and Live
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
 |
| MAN AND SERPENT, "THE SERPENT IS SIN" "THE CROSS UPON THE MAN'S HEAD REPRESENTS JESUS CHRIST'S SAVING GRACE." |
"Jesus, numbered with the transgressors, hangs before us on the cross. A look to Him will heal us of the serpent-bite of sin at once. If you are mourning your sinfulness, note the words, "Everyone who looks at it shall live."
 |
| LOOK TO JESUS FOR HE STANDS AT OUR HEARTS AND KNOCKS, WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO LET HIM IN. |
If you look to Jesus you will live. True, you are swelling with the venom and you see no hope. But there is no hope but this one. This is no doubtful cure, "Everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live."
The brazen serpent was not lifted up as a curiosity to be gazed upon by the healthy; but its special purpose was for those who were "bitten." Jesus died as a Savior for sinners. Whether the bite has made you a drunkard, or a thief, or a profane person, a look at the Great Savior will heal you and make you live in holiness and communion
with God. Look and live."
with God. Look and live."
