“Look And Live”
Friday, December 13, 2024Key Verse
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:14-15).
Text —Numbers 21:5-9
Message
The children of Israel murmured and spoke against God and Moses. This brought God’s judgment on them as deadly snakes began to bite them. They, however, asked for mercy, and a serpent of brass was set up for them to look at to be healed, and live. If anyone who was bitten had refused to look on the brazen serpent, he would have died.
In like manner, Jesus Christ was lifted up on the Cross and crucified for us; anyone who looks upon Him will not perish. Unfortunately, many youths today are looking away from Christ the only means of salvation of their souls. Only those who look steadfastly for the salvation that comes from the atonement of Jesus, the Messiah will live. However, it must be a look of faith, believing that He will cleanse and give you the power to live above sin. To retain your saved state, you must continue to look unto Jesus, who is the Author and Finisher of our faith. And surely you will enter the heavenly Jerusalem.
