LOOK TO JESUS!
They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, c to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!” Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived. —Numbers 21:4-9
“For no word from God will ever fail.” —Luke 1:37
We can fully trust what our Lord God Almighty says. Truly, as the angel told Mary that “For no word from God will ever fail.” When the people complained against the Lord and Moses, the Lord sent a plague of poisonous snakes among the people and when they were bitten they died. The people confessed, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” Moses did pray for the people and the Lord’s answer was— “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” And so Moses obeyed the Word of the Lord and “made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.”
Truly, “For no word from God will ever fail” and when Jesus said, “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him” (John 3:14-15). Be sure this is absolutely true because, yes, “For no word from God will ever fail.” Just as it was true in the wilderness when God told Moses to have the people look at the bronze snake and live after they were bitten by a poisonous snake, so too those bitten by Satan’s snakebite of sin, which is all of us, if we look to Jesus and believe, then we “have eternal life in him.” Have you looked to Jesus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYZw0dfLmLk&t=72s Dear Father, if there are any who have not “look to Jesus” for eternal life, may they do so now! Yes, may this be so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. Yes, may this be so! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqWYSyDZYIg&list=RDEqWYSyDZYIg&start_radio=1
