                                                            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."

                                          The Bible's Supreme Place

Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble.
                                                       ~ Psalm 119:165



EVERYTHING WE SAY AND DO
IS WRITTEN DOWN IN THE BOOK
OF LIFE, WE ARE TO LIVE AS JESUS
 WOULD HAVE LIVED HIS LIFE.



  "A true love for the Book will bring us great peace from God and be a great protection to us. Let us live constantly in the society of the law of the Lord, and it will breed in our hearts a restfulness such as nothing else can.



READ THE WORD, IT TEACHES YOU HOW
TO LAY YOUR BURDENS DOWN AT
JESUS FEET, AND CONFESS YOUR SINS
DAILY AND REPENT. JUST AS THE BIBLE
SAYS THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.



  Nothing is a stumbling block to the man who has the Word of God dwelling in him richly. For the fiery trial he is prepared, he is neither stumbled by prosperity, nor crushed by adversity: for he lives beyond the changing circumstances of external life.



JESUS IS THE WORD!



  When his Lord puts before him some great mystery of the faith which makes others cry, "This is a hard saying!" the believer accepts it without question, for his intellectual difficulties are overcome by his reverent awe of the law of the Lord, which is to him the supreme authority. Lord, work in us this love, this peace, this rest, today."

                                            Preserved to Work's End

The Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome."

                                                              ~ Acts 23:11

PAUL BEARING WITNESS IN ATHENS

  "Are you a witness for the Lord, and are you just now in danger? If the Lord has more witness for you to bear, you will live to bear it. Who is he that can break the vessel that the Lord intends to use?

PAUL PREACHING THE GOSPEL IN JERUSALEM

  If there is no more work for you to do for your Master, it cannot distress you that He is about to take you home and put you where you will be beyond the reach of adversaries. Your witness-bearing for Jesus is your chief concern, and you cannot be stopped still it is finished: therefore, be at peace. Cruel slander, wicked misrepresentation, desertion of friends, betrayal by the most trusted one, and whatever else may come cannot hinder the Lord's purpose concerning you.

PAUL BEARING WITNESS AND
GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER FOR
TEACHING HIM THE LOVE FOR MAN.

  The Lord stands by you in the night of your sorrow and say, "You must bear witness for Me." Be calm, be filled with joy in the Lord."
