The Bronze Snake on the pole.. Num21

When the bronze snake was hung on the pole, the Israelites didnt know the fuller meaning Jesus Christ would bring to this event. Jesus explained that just as the Israelites were healed of their sickness by looking at the snake on the pole, all believers today can be saved from the sickness of sin by looking to Jesus ' death on the cross.

It was not the snake who healed the people but their belief that God could heal them. This believe demonstrated by their obedience to God's instructions. I. The same way, we should continue to look to Christ.
