Scripture Union Daily Guide 8 January 2024 Outline:
Read the story of the bronze serpent in Numbers 21:4-9. The dying Israelite in the desert could add nothing to the provision God had made to save him from death. All he needed to do was to obey and look. And anybody who looked at the snake would be healed of the snake’s poison. It was something anybody could do, whether they were young or old, man or woman, learned or ignorant. Only those who failed to look upon that bronze snake would die of the snake’s poison.
Eternal death awaits all men because of their sins but God has made available to us the one and only way of escape: through the death of His One and Only Son. His purpose was to save all mankind. Any sinner can look up to Jesus Christ and be born again. It is not complicated. It is a miracle that depends on the love and grace of God. However, some fail to look upon God’s remedy for the poison of sin. Look at what v.18 says about them.
