Transcript

Alright, thank you very much. And hello again, radio friends, wow in the world are you? You doing alright? Well, I’m fine, thank you. Happy in the Lord. Glad to be back with you. How I cherish these moments that we can invest together over the Word of God. We’re in John chapter 3, a precious passage of scripture, to be sure. And we just have been walking around in verses 14 and 15. The story of the serpent in the wilderness as being a picture of what the Lord Jesus Christ was later to do when He died for you and for me upon the cross of Calvary, paying the penalty for sin, being the one to whom we can look in faith. It’s not only what He was doing there but what He does when we trust Him there. Even so must the Son of Man be lifted up. And whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

There are two legends that grew up around the story of the serpent in the wilderness. One was that of a person who had been bitten by one of these snakes and who was told to look to the brazen serpent that Moses had put on this high pole, according to the commandment that God had given. And this man said, “No, how could a piece of brass ever save me?” And so he refused, and died. The other legend that has grown up through the years, centuries really, is that of a woman who had been bitten and who was dying, who didn’t have strength to move. And the brazen serpent was just then in the process of being set up. And so, just as she was about to expire, her daughters picked her up and carried her bodily outside where her failing eyes could look toward the brazen serpent and she was healed.

Well, I don’t know whether either of those things happened, but they could very well have happened, because the Bible says many of the Israelites were bitten by these serpents and many of them were healed when they looked upon the brazen serpent that God had had Moses to raise up. All of it, as I say, a foreshadowing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was made sin for us. See, the thing that bit them was a serpent, and the thing that healed them was a brazen serpent when they looked in faith toward God’s provision. And the Lord Jesus Christ never had any sin in Him or on Him. He was without sin, our Lord Jesus. But we read in Corinthians, “God hath made Him to be sin for us, He who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.”
