1 Chronicles 10:1-11:47; Ezekiel 12:1-28; John 4:1-30
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. John 3:14
Why was the serpent compared to the Son of Man? The serpent was cursed for tempting Eve to sin, “God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed” (Gen. 3:14). To be lifted up to hang was also a curse. “Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree” (Gal. 3:13). To redeem us, Jesus was lifted up and made a curse for
us. We are now free when we look up to Him! —K. C. Ung
There is life for a look at the crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee;
Then look, sinner, look unto Him, and be saved,
Unto Him who was nailed to the tree. —Amelia M. Hull
